I bought a rose today, for thee Lass,
chosen with great care
I wanted just the best for thee Lass,
and I saw you in the sunlight: smiling, watching
I saw you standing there.
I bought a rose today, for thee Lass,
I know full well how they lift your heart.
I took my time to bide for the right one
and the beauty of this one, had me start..
I bought a rose today, for thee Lass
Its delicate, its a wonder, perfection stopped yet unstilled..
It’s a delight of a scent from Heaven to you Lass,
My thoughts of it all had my eyes quick tear filled.
I bought a rose today, for thee Lass
Its good and pure and strong
Its just for thee alone Lass, thee alone.
So sure, so straight and much minds me of thee Lass
And its colours and scent are its life, and its song
I bought a rose today, for you Lass,
As I always will every year
And though I have grieved for nigh on twenty,.
its through that rose that chooses me, aye, chooses me, Lass,
That I know You are here.
You chose a rose today Lass
And I held it close and near.
And I wish with all my heart Lass,
Aye all my heart.
I wish that you were here.
