THANK YOU FOR THE ROSES
(Jim Anglin)
Kitty West - 1979


Oh, I thank you for the roses
They're just like a breath of spring
Oh, I thank you for the roses
And the memories that the roses bring

At my door, one dozen roses
On the card there was no name
My life revolves around the sender
Only memories, they still remain

Oh, I thank you for the roses
They're just like a breath of spring
Oh, I thank you for the roses
And the memories that the roses bring

How careless love shines so brightly
Can burn out like a flame
Those happy times we remember
There was sunshine and now the rain

Oh, I thank you for the roses
They're just like a breath of spring
Oh, I thank you for the roses
And the memories that the roses bring
