Little White Roses
Paul & Price with Toddy Ivy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moon was all aglow
But heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies

The stars all seemed to know
You didn't mean all those sighs
The night that you told me
Those little white lies

I try, but there's no forgetting
When evenin' appears
I sigh but there's no regretting
In spite of my tears

Who wouldn't believe those lips
Who wouldn't believe those eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies

I try, but there's no forgetting
When evenin' appears
I sigh but there's no regretting
In spite of my tears

The Devil was in your heart
But Heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies




Those lies
Teeny-weeny little white lies

Overall Meaning

In the song Little White Roses by Paul & Price, the singer is reminiscing about a night where they were deceived by someone they trusted. The contrast between the beautiful moon and the lying person's heavenly eyes creates a sense of betrayal and hurt. The singer notes that the stars seemed to know the truth behind the lies, meaning that the deception may have been obvious to outsiders. Additionally, the repetition of "those little white lies" suggests that the lies themselves were insignificant, but the impact they had on the singer was significant.


The lyrics suggest that the singer has tried to move on from the situation, but is unable to forget. The use of the words "I try, but there's no forgetting" and "in spite of my tears" highlights the emotional pain and difficulty in moving on from deceit. The use of the phrase "the devil was in your heart" suggests that the lies were intentional and malicious. However, despite the deception, the singer is still drawn to the person and the beauty of their eyes, which adds a layer of complexity to the relationship.


Overall, the lyrics of Little White Roses convey the hurt and confusion that can result from being deceived by someone you trust. The use of vivid imagery and repetition adds to the emotional impact of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

The moon was all aglow
The moon's light illuminated the night


But heaven was in your eyes
You looked like an angel


The night that you told me
The moment when you verbally expressed


Those little white lies
The false statements you made, which were minor and relatively harmless


The stars all seemed to know
Nature recognized the lack of truth in your words


You didn't mean all those sighs
Your exaggerated reactions were insincere


I try, but there's no forgetting
Even if I try, I can't forget


When evenin' appears
Nighttime arrives


I sigh but there's no regretting
I express a sound of sadness but still don't feel remorse


In spite of my tears
Even though I cry


Who wouldn't believe those lips
Your lips are believable


Who wouldn't believe those eyes
Your eyes are believable


The Devil was in your heart
You had a deceitful intention


But Heaven was in your eyes
You still looked angelic despite your intentions


Those lies
The minor falsehoods you told


Teeny-weeny little white lies
The small, insignificant lies you told
