Roses Lyrics

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 Janis Ian - Roses - http://motolyrics.com/janis-ian/roses-lyrics.html

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
