Beautiful rose fade away,
Treasure of mine lasts only a day.
Delicate wonder, I handle with care,
Queen of all flowers
none can compare.
Entrancing splendor of nature
you hold.
In passing days the petals grow old.
Lovely and radiant, one of a kind,
Beautiful token, treasure of mine.
An emblem of love, a gift to my heart,
Joy and sweet fragrance
thou do impart.
Given in love, displaying you care,
Sweet are the memories
of all that we share.
Lovely and radiant, one of a kind,
Beautiful token, treasure of mine.
Many occasion you brighten my day,
Sometimes you bring a tear
on the way.
So many colors, so much to give,
Simple creation, so short you live.
Lovely and radiant, one of a kind,
Beautiful token, treasure of mine.
