A Good Year For The Roses (lorrie Morgan With Sammy Kershaw) Lyrics - Lorrie Morgan

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick 

On the cigarettes there in the ashtray 

Lyin' cold the way you left 'em 

But at least your lips caressed them while you packed 

 

And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee 

That I poured and didn't drink 

But at least you thought you wanted it 

And that so much more then I can say for me 

 

It's been a good year for the roses 

And many blooms still linger there 

The lawn could stand another mowin' 

Funny, I don't even care 

 

And when you turn to walk away 

As the door behind you closes 

The only thing I know to say 

It's been a good year for the roses 

 

After three full years of marriage 

It's the first time that I haven't made the bed 

I guess the reason we're not talkin' 

There's so little left to say, we haven't said 

 

And while a million thoughts go racin' through my mind 

I find I haven't spoke a word 

And from the bedroom, the familiar sounds 

Of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard 

 

But what a good year for the roses 

And may blooms still linger there 

The lawn could stand another mowin' 

Funny I don't care 

 

And when you turn to walk away 

As the door behind you closes 

The only thing I know to say 

It's been a good year for the roses 

 

The only thing I know to say 

It's been a good year for the roses
