I Found You Among The Roses

Once again dear it's rose time it's June time

All the flowers they bloom as of yore

And the robin's sweet song is singing

As I walked here to greet you once more

A year has passed dear since we came here

This old love of ours to renew

And I found you among the roses

The day I come back to you

I found you among the roses

The day I come back to you

All my gladness was there in a garden so fair

Was the happiest moment I knew

 

Your lips were the color of roses

I craved them as flowers crave the dew

It was out here in your rose garden

Where I found you

I remember the kiss that you gave me

For your cheeks like the rosebuds red

Was a kiss dear that meant to fore me

For all the harsh words I have said

Red roses a blooming around me

I loved every one of them too

For it was there dear in your rose garden

Where I found you
