Red Roses on the Table
I placed red roses on the table
but you weren't there anymore
I placed red roses on the table
but you had flown right out the door
You took my flailing heartbeat with you
took it right on out the door
My heart can't beat without you
can't beat forever more
I was a fool to ever love you
and a fool I'll always be
I placed red roses on the table
to show my love for thee
Now the roses they are dying
like your love for me has died
I remember when you loved me
and when you were my bride
We took an oath there at the altar
to love each other for evermore
I placed red roses on the table
but you are gone for evermore
