《Purple Roses》歌词

[00:00:00] Purple Roses - John Williams

[00:00:12] There's a rose bush in the garden

[00:00:16] Been there since I was born

[00:00:19] That celebrates it's age without fear

[00:00:25] I touch the velvet petals

[00:00:28] And smell the breath of angels

[00:00:31] And pick the purple roses every year

[00:00:37] Now you think you're passed your prime my sweet woman

[00:00:43] Your use by date is faded and grey

[00:00:49] But sad and sorry thoughts like that my darlin'

[00:00:55] Is throwin' purple roses away

[00:01:14] You're tired of pretending that you're younger

[00:01:20] When gravity is real and here to stay

[00:01:26] So you wear your clothes more easily for comfort

[00:01:33] You used to be too skinny anyway

[00:02:03] There's a rose bush in the garden

[00:02:06] Been there since I was born

[00:02:09] That celebrates it's age without fear

[00:02:16] I touch the velvet petals

[00:02:19] And smell the breath of angels

[00:02:22] And pick the purple roses every year

[00:02:28] Now you're looking in the mirror

[00:02:31] A picture of your mother

[00:02:34] But you don't see the woman that I see

[00:02:40] Denying grace and pride the good lord gave you

[00:02:46] Is throwin' purple roses away

[00:02:52] Yeah sad and sorry thoughts like that my darlin'

[00:02:58] Is throwin' purple roses away
