Twelve Red Roses

                  words by Bob MacKenzie
                  music by Alex Young

Twelve red roses came today
after all this time you've been away
what did you think that I would do
spend each day waiting for you

one dozen red roses, whoa,
one for each month you weren't here
a rose for each memory
a thorn for every single tear
I've cried.

Those red roses at my door
will fade like love that is no more
and did you think when you left me
how hard coming back would be

one dozen red roses, whoa,
one for each month you weren't here
a rose for each memory
a thorn for every single tear
I've cried.

Twelve red roses, thrown away.
