Lyrics
1st verse:
The roses each one, met with the sun
Sweetheart, when I met you,
The sunshine had fled,
The roses were dead,
Sweetheart, when I lost you.
Chorus:
I lost the sunshine and roses,
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew;
I lost the angel who gave me Summer,
the whole winter through.
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness,
When I lost you.
2nd verse:
The birds ceased their song,
right turned to wrong,
Sweetheart, when I lost you,
A day turned to years,
The wold seem'd in tears,
Sweetheart, when I lost you.
