Twelve Long Stem Roses Lyrics

(Cody Bearpaw)

As I walked through my garden today
Picking flowers for a pretty bouquet
There were many shades of blue white lilies and violets too
But I've picked these long stem roses just for you.

I'm sending roses, twelve long stem roses
Will you not let them wither and die
I've picked them just for you so I'm sending my love to
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry.

I could send just any rose
You've had them all beforeMel Tillis - Twelve Long Stem Roses - http://motolyrics.com/mel-tillis/twelve-long-stem-roses-lyrics.html
But somehow in a different way
Long stem roses mean more.

So I'm sending roses, twelve long stem roses
Will you not let them wither and die
I've picked them just for you so I'm sending my love to
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry.

I'm sending roses, twelve long stem roses
Will you not let them wither and die
I've picked them just for you so I'm sending my love to
I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry.

I hope these long stem roses cheer you when you cry...
