Wild Rose

A wild rose, is in full bloom
In the heat of summer, see it from my room
And the purple petals, scent in the air
Blowing in the wind, smell it everywhere

Take a look around, flowers everywhere
Taking in their beauty, I haven?t a care

And then comes falls, everything turns brown
And the petals are wilted, leaves cover the ground
Then covered with snow, and the skies are grey
Don?t want to go outside, dream of sunny days

And it?s 60 below, and the skies are grey
The roads are covered with snow, I dream of sunny days

And wish for spring, snow melts from the ground
Hear the robin sing, and the rain comes down
In like a lion, out like a lamb
Birds everywhere, nature fills the land

And it?s finally spring, nature everywhere
Turning from brown to green, wash away my care

And a wild rose, is in full bloom
In the heat of summer, see it from my room

See it from my room, see it from my room
See it from my room, see it from my room

Hit it James!

And Papa, I love you, and Mother, I love you too
And John, I love you, and Audrey, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too, I love you too, I love you too
