Black Roses

[Verse 1]

Hey now

I'd pretty much enjoy a glass of wine

Would you say

That the day's been rather fine?

Don't you want to celebrate and make it last?

Never let a good chance past

For each day may be the last

Stay calm

For the coming news just may be a shock

Ilness rang

Drew a red mark on my door

Wanted so bad to be a mom

[Chorus]

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Black roses

Life's only gift to be

Black roses

Life's only gift to be

[Verse 2]

Hey now

How's your sister and her child coming on?

Nelly said

He's a beautiful boy

Hold on

Heard your father had a breakdown in the fall

Pеople say

He had to stay in a home

That hе did harm to your mom

[Bridge]

Read

The face of life is complicated

In the end

A mass of laughter, tears, and pain

Do remember

The time I heard an elder say

[Chorus]

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Black roses

Life's only gift to be

Black roses

Life's only gift to be

[Outro]

Black roses

Sweet thorny flower to me
