A Dozen Red Roses

A Dozen Red Roses - American Country Hits/Country Music/Country Rock Party

A dozen red roses

In a simple bouquet

Arrived at the church

On her wedding day

The bridesmaids gathered 'round her

Last details done

But a dozen red roses

Who could they be from

The moment was close now

The church filled with light

She stood like a picture

A glow of white

All her friends waiting

Music softly played

Yet she reached for the roses

On the table where they laid

Then from the roses

She picked up an envelope

Her hand was guided by her heart

And for every rose

A single teardrop fell

As she lifted her veil

And slowly read the card

You're in your room sleeping

As I write these words

I know you won't read them

Till years from now

God will call me home soon

I'll miss your wedding day

So your mom will keep this note to send

With a rose bouquet

So take one of these roses

To hold in your hand

And I will be beside you

As always

Love Dad
