The Rose Lyrics - Francoise Hardy

A lifetime comes and goes 

And as my friend the rose said only yesterday 

"This morning I was born 

And baptised in the dawn 

I flowered in the dew 

And life was fresh and new 

The sun shone through the cold 

And through the day I grew 

By night-time I was old"

"At least there's never been 

No, you have never seen 

A rose more bright and gay" 

A lifetime comes and goes 

And as my friend the rose said only yesterday 

"The good lord smiled on me 

So why then should it be 

I feel I'm falling now 

Oh yes, I'm falling now 

My heart no-one can save 

My head begins to bow 

My feet are in the grave" 

The rose God smiled upon 

Tomorrow will be gone 

Forever gone away

A lifetime comes and goes 

And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day 

The moon is shining bright 

And in my dreams tonight 

Beneath the starlit sky 

My friend the rose goes by 

He has seen my dreams I see 

A soul that wouldn't die 

Still watching over me 

Whatever fortune brings 

I'll hope for better things 

Or life will just be grey 

"A lifetime comes and goes" 

That's what my friend the rose 

Said only yesterday
