Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
The birds ceased their song, right turned to wrong,
Sweetheart, when I lost you,
A day turned to years, the world seemed in tears,
Sweetheart when, I lost you.
[Chorus]
