Weren't The Roses Beautiful In May Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

I came here when the flowers were a blooming and the sun shined every day 

And we chased butterflies among the flowers just to let 'em get away 

And we watched springtime turn to summertime and summer turn to fall 

We turned to each other through it all 

Now I'm waitin' for a train to come along 

Hidin' from a winter wind that chills me to the bone 

Beggin' of how things used to be before our love passed away 

Weren't the roses beautiful in May and weren't the roses beautiful in May 

[ banjo ] 

I often try to capture to remember all the colors summer wore 

And how the girl beside me made me see the things I've never seen before 

For as long as I have mem'ries I'll have mem'ries of the girl 

Cause it was kind of my song of the world 

Now I'm waitin' for a train to come along 

Thinkin' about the flowers again and sorry that they're gone 

But long ago the paddles fell and the wind blew them away 

Weren't the roses beautiful in May and weren't the roses beautiful in May
