Eleven Roses Lyrics

(Crystal Bernard/David Rhyne)


A stormy summer came and went
In the garden that we grew back then
I remember when
The single rose you gave to me
With a vow that you would never leave
One you didn't keep
Regretfully I understand
Why the flower crumbled in my hands

There's only eleven roses
I know I should have known it from the start
Tell me why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

Pressed between the pages
I see the missing rose you couldn't find
From the years gone by
Sadly we just threw away
What could have been a beautiful bouquet
So I turned the page
Tonight I just can't bare to see
The faded rose that meant the most to me

There's only eleven roses
I know I should have known it from the start
Tell me why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart

The only thing that we forgot
Is do you love me or do you love me not

There's only eleven roses
I know I should have known it from the start
I think I know why there's only
Eleven roses left here to show
Something's missing from your heart
