Like red on a rose When your lips first smiled at me I was captured instantly To each his own Like blue in the sky The gaze of your willing eyes Touched something deep inside The truth be known That I love you Like all little children love pennies And I love you cause I know that I can't do anything wrong You're where I belong Like red on a rose And I love you like All little children love pennies And I love you like Good times of which I've known many And I love you cause I know you give me a heart of my own You make my blood flow Like red on a rose Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin' It's funny, I don't even care And when you turned and walked away And as the door behind you closes The only thing I know to say It's been a good year for the roses
