I would send her a rose
when I couldn't make it home
I was always away
she was always alone
But roses couldn't
hold her tight
or keep her warm in the night
And in time she slipped away
I can still hear her say
send me no roses
Send no roses today
Just like our dreams
the fragrance will soon
fade away
The magic is gone
Our love has died on the vine
Send me no roses
Roses can't bring
it back this time
Empty arms reachin' out
Left so unsatisfied
Needin' so much to find
the love she was denied
What she wanted was my love
roses weren't quite enough
I remember the day
that I heard baby say
send me no roses
Send no roses today
Just like our dreams
the fragrance will soon
fade away
The magic is gone
Our love has died on the vine
Send me no roses
Roses can't bring
it back this time
Send me no roses
send no roses today
