The Rose Lyrics

When I was a lass, my dear mother said to me
my dear mother said to me
This time you should know
All the heartache love can bring
All the heartache love can bring
For love can be a...
...
The sweetest one that glow
But love can cut you deep
Like the thorn of the rose
the thorn of the rose

But then I grew up
And I fell so much in love
Yes, I fell so much in love
Then soon I forgot what my mother told me of
My dear mother told me of
The one day love was gone
Like the rain, my tears just flow
Like rain my tears did flow
For love cut through my heart
like the thorn of the rose
the thorn of the rose

Now whole... daughter of my
...
All the summer time has come
I fear you will do what your mother dear has done
what your mother dear has done

for whom... born?
of the sorrow and tomorrow
to sorrow and to mourn
And love can cut you deep
Like the thorn of the rose
The thorn of the rose
