Your Roses, My Pearls

Verse 1:
Its still warm outside at eight-thirty p.m.
Waiting on my steps outside my front door
You had asked my favorite color that night and
Brought a beautiful dozen roses when no one had before

Break:
Your smile made my smile and when you
Held on to me liftin me up I didnt wanna come down
They were pink like my cheeks and ever so soft
Like your lips, it was the best night in that town

Verse 2:
Im laughin now when I look back to think
Oh how much I loved them lightin up my room
Remeberin how you told me I would be feelin somethin, (crazy)
I did when you asked me the next day and I assume
Thats what you were waitin for all that night
When you looked me in the eye and kissed me good-bye
You drove away and I slipped back in the house
Your dozen roses makin me fly

Chorus:
Your roses have finally died
Just like our love that you declared
They crumble at the sight
And we just couldnt be spared
Ive got some pearls of mine
And Im finally on my own
Smiling as I leave you behind
Your roses for my pearls

Vere 3:
I know you werent wondering anymore than me
These days I make my own smile and baby Im doin fine
These pearls around my wrist dont crumble and die
I continue in my life as they shine

Chorus:
Your roses have finally died
Just like our love that you declared
They crumble at the sight
And we just couldnt be spared
Ive got some pearls of mine
And Im finally on my own
Smiling as I leave you behind
Your roses for my pearls

Verse 4:
One day when we are old and I pass you long the way
Ill take a deep breath and ask how are you
Youll smile as you remember exactly how we were
And life goes on as we all find something new

Chorus:
Your roses have finally died
Just like our love that you declared
They crumble at the sight
And we just couldnt be spared
Ive got some pearls of mine
And Im finally on my own
Smiling as I leave you behind
Your roses for my pearls
