Roses Lyrics - Singles - Ian Janis

She never had too much of money 

Friendly strangers were all she knew 

Nobody ever came to call but you 

I would not say she isn't happy 

though the eyes of a fool 

will make her blue 

Nobody's ever seen the tears 

It's true 

I guess nobody wanted to 

We'll have a celebration 

Ice cream and candy cakes 

She's very young to go 

so far away 

And then there'll be the papers 

in black and white 

to say we're through 

Nobody every loved me 

quite like you 

I guess nobody wanted to 

And there'll be roses 

in the springtime still 

I guess there will 

I wish her roses and song 

And she'll be older 

as years go by, 

and how they fly 

Will she be lonely 

without me along? 

She doesn't make friends easily 

She's only known a few 

The incidental stranger 

passing through 

On Sundays and holidays 

I'll take her far away 

We never tried to save 

the love we knew 

I guess nobody wanted to
