Summer Rose (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2007) (song#4452)

Once a bluebird loved a summer rose
But his song turned despondent eventually
Oh, my summer rose, your blush I see
But I cannot stay, for winter's near
Oh, my summer rose, my lovely flower
From your bower I must fly, my dear

Came the springtime and the bluebird returned
For his summer rose his poor heart yearned
From a tree he sang his summer song in vain
For his summer rose he could not find again
The winter snows had come and oh, the pity
There lay froze, the summer rose, once pretty

Goodbye, summer rose, the sun is shining
For you, my love, my broken heart is pining
Now summer's gone, winter snows' domain
Perhaps another spring and a seed will grow
And I will sing to my summer rose again
