I planted a little rose bush
And tended it with care
Its buds began to blossom
Their sweet fragrance filled the air
But when winter came it withered
The petals droop and fell to the ground
My heart sank as it faded
But I'd forgotten who had made it
He said roses will bloom again
Just wait and see
Don't mourn what might have been
Only god knows how and when
But roses will bloom again
Rose was his only sweetheart
A loving wife for forty years
He cherished every day they had
And held the memories dear
He never dreamed he'd bury love
And go on to live alone
When he laid his rose to rest
He looked to heaven and tried his best to believe
That roses will bloom again
Just wait and see
Don't mourn what might have been
Only god knows how and when
But roses will bloom again
The precious rose of sharon
Broken and bruised and cruel
Shame stain the cross of calvary
So that man might be saved
Satan cheered as he died
While mary and the others cried
Then god raised him up from death
Sleep and kept a promise only he could keep
Roses will bloom again
Just wait and see
Don't mourn what might have been
Only god knows how and when
Roses will bloom again
Roses will bloom again
