Roses

Lord I’m so lonely
How will I ever find my way
I look out my window
Rain’s falling down just like the tears on my face
It feels like this pain could last forever
Now that I know she’s not comin back
So many things that I tried to say
It didn’t matter she wouldn’t stay
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
She had her reasons
She never felt there was a need to explain
And she won’t be knockin'
And she won’t be callin on the phone
It feels like this pain could last forever
Now that I know she’s not comin back
So many things that I tried to say
It didn’t matter she wouldn’t stay
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
So many things that I tried to say
It didn’t matter she wouldn’t stay
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
So many things that I tried to say, darlin
It didn’t matter she wouldn’t stay no, no, no I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
I woke up to smell them roses
When she walked away
