A Dozen White Roses Lyrics - Singles - Alecia Nugent

I heard his time was short so I went to see my old friend 

When I walked through the door 

He said, sure good to see you again 

Sit down here by me, the Doc says, my future ain't bright 

But even if I don't beat it, there's a part of my past that won't die 

He points to a picture and smiles from his easy chair 

As he relives the moment, says, girl, that was heaven right there 

You can see his heart's broken as a lonesome tear drop to the floor 

And along with the silence that filled, came a knock at the door 

A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows 

Too little, too late, I suppose 

But he clings to the last ray of hope 

And a dozen white roses 

They were meant for each other, that was clear right from the start 

What a shame too much pride and a jealous heart kept them apart 

No card and some flowers it's quite enough to make amends 

For fifty years living a life of what should have been 

A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows 

Too little, too late, I suppose 

But he clings to the last ray of hope 

And a dozen white roses 

A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows 

Too little, too late, I suppose 

But he clings to the last ray of hope 

And a dozen white roses
