The sheet music:
Lyrics
I found love when roses were red
And skies were blue above
Winter came and roses were dead
Ending my gladness, bringing me sadness
REFRAIN
Love is like a rose
Comes and goes like a rose
Blooms but for a day
Then, for aye, fades away
Love is just a gleam
Of happiness we dream of
Every lover knows
Love is like a rose
2. Joy is sweet and fleeting at best
Pain lingers on for aye
Like a bird that calls from its nest
Love will awake you, and then, forsake you
