Purple Roses - John Williams[00:00:00]
There's a rose bush in the garden[00:00:12]
Been there since I was born[00:00:16]
That celebrates it's age without fear[00:00:19]
I touch the velvet petals[00:00:25]
And smell the breath of angels[00:00:28]
And pick the purple roses every year[00:00:31]
Now you think you're passed your prime my sweet woman[00:00:37]
Your use by date is faded and grey[00:00:43]
But sad and sorry thoughts like that my darlin'[00:00:49]
Is throwin' purple roses away[00:00:55]
You're tired of pretending that you're younger[00:01:14]
When gravity is real and here to stay[00:01:20]
So you wear your clothes more easily for comfort[00:01:26]
You used to be too skinny anyway[00:01:33]
There's a rose bush in the garden[00:02:03]
Been there since I was born[00:02:06]
That celebrates it's age without fear[00:02:09]
I touch the velvet petals[00:02:16]
And smell the breath of angels[00:02:19]
And pick the purple roses every year[00:02:22]
Now you're looking in the mirror[00:02:28]
A picture of your mother[00:02:31]
But you don't see the woman that I see[00:02:34]
Denying grace and pride the good lord gave you[00:02:40]
Is throwin' purple roses away[00:02:46]
Yeah sad and sorry thoughts like that my darlin'[00:02:52]
Is throwin' purple roses away[00:02:58]
