Lyrics:
Moonlight and roses are the goin' thing
Champagne, a little lo-ove, and a weddin' ring
But everytime she lea-eaves it's gonna break your heart
If you got a penny for thoughts I don't give you
You'd be the richest alive
No silver lining, tried standing by you
But now I just can't pay
If you got a penny for thoughts I don't give you
You'd be the richest alive
No silver lining, tried standing by you
But now I just can't pay
You can tell yourself everything is fine
But don't be fooled by the sunshine
And don't expect roses
Don't expect roses
I'm thinking
Watching
at all
That's loved by you
Gerard:
Happiness is having a sister
Lea:
Sharing a sandwich
Both:
Getting along
Happiness is singing together
I smile When
I think about the roses
I picture all the moments, Roses
The Roses On Our Deathbed
Baby You My Best Friend
Hold My Hand
Roses
I keep
They sending me black roses
They don't want me to live
They sending me black roses
They don't want me here
They sending me black roses
They just want
and then it goes) and then it goes
(You came with love and understanding, ooooo)
But left by a letter demanding
(Oh-wooo dying rose)
(Came with love
And roses and roses and roses . . .
Words and Music by Ray Gilbert
And Dorival Caymmi , 1965
One bright summers morning as day was a dawning Bright phoebus had risen shone over the lea
And I spied a fair maiden all down by the river While
Through the cracks of a concrete jungle we all grow, The Black Rose
Black Rose
Through the cracks of a concrete jungle we grow
Black Rose
Through
There was a fair maiden lived in the north
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
She fell in love with her father's clerk
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
A soft summer evening
Another time, another place
He brought her red roses
On their very first date
She got carried away by the things that he
and all.
When shall I see again my gray mare ?
All along down along out along lea.
By Friday noon or Saturday soon,
With Bill Brewer, etc.
Then Friday came
When o'er the hill the eastern star
Tells bughtin time is near, my jo,
And owsen frae the furrow'd field
Return sae dowf and weary O;
Down by
on either side got me bleeding with no end
She got roses, roses, roses in her hands
She holds em by the thorns, she holds em by the thorns
I got Roses
halleluja Rosie Lea.
If you feel a bit under the weather,
If you feel a little bit peeved,
Take granny's stand-by potion
For any old cough
real as evening wind
They are washed by love and suffering
'Cause my love has colored them, colored them
Ooh ooh, nothing but roses
But don't dam
around
You'd never guess
I'll be here
No one told you I survived, my dear
You'd never guess I'll be here
I've heard dead trees lay all over our lea
Look
(feat. Gerald Levert)
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
Can you call a rose by any other name?
Gerald
Just this morning I took a stroll
One bright summers morning as day was a dawning Bright phoebus had risen shone over the lea
And I spied a fair maiden all down by the river While
don't want to be your anchor
I just want to lay back down
Take another hit of dead roses
'Cause I remain alone
Sitting in this empty room
Consumed by
(feat. Gerald Levert)
Lately all the flowers seem to be so plain
Can you call a rose by any other name?
Gerald
Just this morning I took a stroll
maybe ten miles out of town
When I heard the rose of Memphis boys that's when I left the ground
I can't go back to Storyville way down there by the sea
