VERSE:
I loved you when roses were wild.
I loved you when I was a child.
In all my innocence and blissfulness,
You couldn’t have been more magnificent.
Like a field blooming in eternal spring,
You made my cheeks blush and my heart sing.
I loved you when roses were wild.
VERSE:
I loved you when roses were true.
I loved you when life wasn’t blue.
The garden grew with rain and time,
But I shed many tears when you were no longer mine.
Like a desert in the summer’s heat,
My love for you withered in bitter retreat.
I loved you when roses were true.
BRIDGE:
Oh, for the days of long ago.
How much I knew.
How much I could never know.
Oh, for the hours of simple faith.
Before many seeds I sowed were washed away.
VERSE:
I loved you when roses were sweet.
I loved you when red was indiscreet.
You weren’t the person I thought you were,
But the roses still standing are beautiful and pure.
Now flowers bloom better than before,
And I couldn’t ask for anything more.
I loved you when roses were sweet.
BRIDGE:
Oh, for the days of long ago.
How much I knew.
How much I could never know.
Oh, for the hours of simple faith.
Before many seeds I sowed were washed away.
TAG:
I loved you when roses were wild.
I loved you when I was a child.
I loved you when roses were wild.
I loved you when I was a child.
