Just Like The Rose

In a garden fair A lily rare Was loved by a blushing rose, They knew no woe, He loved her so, With love that a flower knows. Until one day, From o'er the way, A hand plucked the lily fair; The rise sighed and signed, 'Til one day it died; Nobody seemed to care.
 * Verse 1

Just like the rose, dear, I loved you, Just like the lily they stole you away, Just like the rose I adored you, Worshiped you7 night and day. Tonight all alone I am signing, Signing for sweet repose; Just like the rose, my love's dying, Dying just like the rose.
 * Chorus

In a garden fair I wandered there. Sweet memories of the past Came back to me So tenderly, Would if they could only last. The rose that signed And long since died Seemed fresh from the morning dew, Then close to my breast, The sweet flow'r I pressed, And cried alas for you.
 * Verse 2

Just like the rose, dear, I loved you, Just like the lily they stole you away, Just like the rose I adored you, Worshiped you7 night and day. Tonight all alone I am signing, Signing for sweet repose; Just like the rose, my love's dying, Dying just like the rose.
 * Chorus
