Roses On The 4th Of July - Nanci Griffith[00:00:01]
He still sends her roses on the 4th of July[00:00:15]
They're always white roses[00:00:18]
And she never asks why[00:00:20]
She still doesn't know[00:00:25]
Where he goes Thursday nights[00:00:26]
But his wedding band rests [00:00:29]
On the bedside that night[00:00:35]
He was a soldier in the Vietnam war[00:00:43]
He lost half his right leg whilst[00:00:46]
Daydreaming of her[00:00:48]
She lit a candle each holy hour[00:00:53]
He was gone[00:00:56]
"You Were On My Mind"[00:00:57]
Was their favorite song[00:01:03]
Love is a mystery[00:01:12]
From birth 'till we die[00:01:13]
It's cross words of a morning[00:01:15]
By evening entwined[00:01:17]
It's all that we dream of [00:01:22]
Sometimes it's not right[00:01:23]
Love is white roses and you never ask why[00:01:25]
He's the hands of a draftsman [00:01:40]
He's built a good life[00:01:42]
She works for a season during IRS time[00:01:43]
Two children they've had though[00:01:49]
Their boy has now died[00:01:51]
When they wake of each morning [00:01:53]
He's still on their minds[00:01:59]
Their friends would all tell you[00:02:08]
They're like day and night[00:02:09]
Their daughter's an actress [00:02:11]
She is strong and she's bright[00:02:13]
He meets with his pals from[00:02:18]
The war Thursday nights[00:02:19]
She still treasures those roses[00:02:22]
Every 4th of July[00:02:28]
Love is a mystery from birth till we die[00:02:36]
It's cross words of a morning[00:02:40]
By evening entwined[00:02:42]
It's all that we dream of [00:02:46]
Sometimes it's not right[00:02:48]
Love is white roses [00:02:50]
And you never ask why[00:02:56]
Love is white roses every 4th of July[00:03:08]
