Send Me No Roses (1973)
I would send her a rose when I couldn’t make it home
I was always away she was always alone
But roses couldn’t hold her tight or keep her warm in the night
And in time she slipped away I can still hear her say
Send me no roses send no roses today
Just like our dreams the fragrance will soon fade away
The magic is gone our love has died on the vine
Send no roses, roses can’t bring it back this time
Empty arms reaching out left so unsatisfied
Needing so much to find the love she was denied
What she wanted was my love roses weren’t quite enough
I remember the day that I heard baby say
Send me no roses send no roses today
Just like our dreams the fragrance will soon fade away
The magic is gone our love has died on the vine
Send no roses, roses can’t bring it back this time
Send me no roses send no roses today
Just like our dreams the fragrance will soon fade away
The magic is gone our love has died on the vine
Send no roses, roses can’t bring it back this time
