Our Rose

Deep in my heart you planted a seed
That memorable night, so long ago.
And from that tiny little seed
A beautiful rose did grow.

Oh, what pain the thorns inflicted
On my faithful, tender heart,
During all the long and lonely nights
You kept us far apart.

But that lovely rose refused to die.
It struggled so to stay alive.
My deep and devoted love for you
Has helped the rose survive.

Now our rose is an everbearing one
For you came back to me.
We'll share it's beauty and it's thorns
Thru all eternity.
