A Dozen Dead Roses Lyrics

There's a dozen dead roses

Remind me of you

And alone in the corner

The guitar you once used

My hearts still broken

I'm lost and confused

Lord won't you let her come home

The bottom of the bottle

Ain't no place to cry

Time seems to freeze

In the blink of an eye

So I sit on this porch

Think about days gone by

Lord won't you let her come home

I'm so blue without you

Come unglued without you

Miss everything about you

Just a dozen dead roses

To remind me of you

I never thought I'd have to tell you goodbye

Never thought that you'd be the first one to die

Held the hands of our boys with a

Tear in their eyes

Please Mama won't you come home

Every anniversary I'd bring you my gift

A single red rose and a long lingering kiss

Now the nights are so lonely and it's your touch I miss

Lord I can't do this alone

I'm so blue without you

Come unglued without you

Miss everything about you

Just a dozen dead roses

To remind me of you

I promise you darling I'll raise our boys well

So many memories and stories to tell

And I'll fill them with your love

Until their hearts swell

Cause I know you're watching them too

I'm so blue without you

Come unglued without you

I miss everything about you

Just a dozen dead roses

To remind me of you

And every year I'll lay down a rose

My promise you're never alone
