Blue Roses

Words and music by paddy mcaloon



Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before i ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before i ever make you cry

Blue roses...



You need more reassurance

Than a frightened orphan child

That i'm always gonna want you

That i'll always be beguiled

So i search for words to tell you

That my love for you is blind

But this fragment of a children's song

Is all that i can find



Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before i ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before i ever make you cry

Blue roses...



This nursery rhyme is corny,

It is stranded out of time

Yet it's simple and it's honest

The same and since when was that a crime ?

And perhaps whoever wrote it

Loved someone like i love you

For in matters of the heart i've learned

There's little that is new



Blue roses will blossom in the snow

Before i ever let you go

Blue roses will grow up to the sky

Before i ever make you cry

Blue roses...
