You Are A Rose Lyrics - Singles - Mark Davenport

You are in bloom 

Seen today 

Of such sweet scent 

But oh, with so short a stay 

That where you grew 

Scarce one can say 

So beautiful 

A July flower 

Yet one rude wind 

Or a terse, ruffling summer shower 

Will force you hence 

To hide and cower 

You are a rose 

In fair set vine 

Your tendrils can 

Love entwine 

The poet's tongue 

So well can speak 

Though to compare 

Such words and clever rhymes are meek 

And ne'er replace 

The balm I seek 

Your petals soft 

And need tender care 

For pressed too close 

You wilt and blush, and easily tear 

And end too soon 

Our brief affair 

Go, happy rose 

And interwove 

With other flowers 

Bind our love 

You are a Queen 

All flowers among 

But die you must, fair rose 

As he, along... the maker of this song 

You are a rose 

A sweet summer flower 

Oh, happy rose
