Lyrics
A Rose By Any Other Name
J. Eshleman, II BMI
As I was walking just this morning,
Trying my best to sort things through,
As I stumbled on a song I used to know,
Then I began to think of you?
Well I?ve been thinking ?bout the night before,
The thing we did in your moonlit room,
And I?ve made love many times before,
But Lord, never like I di with you,
No never, ?til I found you?
chorus
Would a rose by any other name be as sweet my dear?
Would a heart at any other time be so true?
It hurts to be so blind, when love makes up your mind,
And a rose by any other name would still be you?
You?ve been waiting ?round for me so long,
You thought I?d leave when things turned blue,
But every day I feel a little more,
And never did I think I?d be with you,
No no never, did I think I?d need you too?
bridge
And there?ll be hard times, and there?ll be good times,
But there?ll never be a flower that could take the place of you? (to chorus)
