A single red rose, my love he handed to me
My eyes so sad, this he could see
He loves me so much and holds on so tight
Urging me not to give up the fight
I housed my life and heart with him, he took my hand and promised to lead me
To a life so fulfilling and enriched my soul would be free
A feather like stroke a tender, soft kiss, a feeling of need I thought could never exist
I owe him so much yet I have very little
No job, no home, no money - I’m brittle
But when he holds me close, it casts off my fears
He fills me with strength and kisses my tears
A single red rose my love, a token so strong
In each other’s arms we’ll forever belong
May the rose never wither or wilt away
Those who caused hurt will be pricked one day
A thorn in their side they’ll surely feel
While my love and I our scars they will heal
