Rose Bouquet
Knight Gladys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were somethin', you and me
Yeah, we had ?em rollin in the aisles
We got it right once, didn't we
We had our shot and missed it by a mile

Forget the bitter end
Can you remember when
We sang, we laughed
They all watched us dance
They circled around us
And toasted to forever
We played to win
We never gave in
And we threw it all away
Like your rose bouquet

Passion flows like a long white gown
But it ain't easy to keep your love alive
We hoped each other would come around
We'll use the lessons for better luck next time

But how sweet it was back then
Do you remember when

We sang, we laughed
They all watched us dance
They circled around us
And toasted to forever
We played to win
We never gave in




And we threw it all away
Like your rose bouquet
