One Red Rose

Lyrics

The rain came down on the tin roof
 Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party
 The kitchen light fell asleep on the bedroom floor
 Me and her were talking softer
 Than all the time before I lost her
 Picture sat on top of the chest of drawers
 
 One red rose in the bible
 Pressed between the holy alphabet
 Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me
 But what I never knew, I never will forget
 ♪
 Rainy nights get darker early
 Her dress was soft, her hair was curly
 We danced around the table to the old banjo
 Rainy nights were made for lovers
 We lay there still beneath the covers
 And I ain't never felt like that before
 
 One red rose in the bible
 Pressed between the holy alphabet
 Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me
 But what I never knew, I never will forget
 ♪
 One red rose in the bible
 Pressed between the holy alphabet
 Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me
 But what I never knew, I never will forget
 What I never knew, I never will forget
