Wilting Rose Lyrics - Doug Supernaw

Writers: Doug Supernaw, Lonnie Atkinson 

Cold tile floors, a single bed 

The TV is her only company 

Out he door she sticks her head 

Thought she heard her family 

But it's not Christmas or Mother's Day 

And all her old friends have passed away 

She's living in a garden 

Where only heartache grows 

''cause what was a blooming flower 

Is now a wilting rose 

Days go by, she's hanging on 

Staring at the grand kids on the wall 

She stars to cry 'cause Sunday's gone 

I guess they just forgot to call 

And all that keeps her from giving up 

The hope she'll look outside and walking up 

Is a child that must meet Grandma before the day she goes 

'cause what was a blooming flower 

Is now a wilting rose 

She's living in a garden where everybody knows 

That we'll soon be laying flowers upon our wilting rose
