Lyrics
Rainy Day Roses
Lyric Robert George/Music Chris Dasch
When the sky is sad and grey
It's been weeping all day
I wipe fog from the windowpane
For right outside there grows,
A solitary rose
That rises more with each rain
(Chorus)
'Cause rainy day roses
Don't give way to sorrow
Their beauty heals a lonesome heart
They know the rain won't last, and when it's past
There's a new day tomorrow
Now the clouds have moved on,
In the bright rays of dawn
A ribbon of color forms
Red in sunrise rainbows,
Seems born from that lone rose
Standing proudly through the storm
(Chorus)
'Cause rainy day roses
Don't give way to sorrow
Their beauty heals a lonesome heart
They know the rain won't last, and when it's past
There's a new day tomorrow
So when my will is weak,
Salty rain wets my sad cheek
And I feel I'd rather fall
I see the rose in my yard,
How when it's raining hard
That's when it's time to stand tall
(Chorus)
'Cause rainy day roses
Don't give way to sorrow
Their beauty heals a lonesome heart
They know the rain won't last, and when it's past
There's a new day tomorrow
