Linda Allen - October Roses Lyrics
You say you are sorry for the youth that you lackFor the sag of your breasts, for the bend in your backFor your hair turning grey, and the tears that now flowFor the choices you made such a long time agoSpring roses are lovely, they make my heart singAnd in summer, the roses sweet memories bringBut I most need the rose when the bitter winds callOctober Roses are the fairest of allOctober Roses are the fairest of allAs a maid, you were lovely, your cheeks bloomed so redAnd you gave your heart freely, too freely you saidAs a woman full grown you knew passion and strifeAnd a tender heart torn with the thorns of your lifeNow you're growing older, sometimes you feel doneBut your strong roots still hold you, you still find the sunFor you blossom with wisdom and courage and careYou're the fairest of roses that bloom anywhere
