Long long ago
Where the tall
Grass grows
And the still air
Is sweet with
Summer flowers
In the shade
By the stream
I would lie awake
And dream
And in dreaming
I would while away
The hours
Long long gone
Yesterday
And the castle
And the prince
And the god
To whom I pray
Well I made
And I'm gonna lie
In this Bed of Roses
I'm tired of
Trying to be free
Gonna lay down
Like a sigh
In my Bed of Roses
Bed of Roses
I believed
My life would be
All wasted years
All the useless
Bitter tears
If I'd known
I'd have stopped it
At the start
I knew life was long
And I knew
Life could go wrong
But I never knew
My life would
Break my heart
Dreams die harder
Than pride
I have learned
My lesson well
I will put them
Both aside
Cause I made
And I'm gonna lie
In this Bed of Roses
I'm tired
And I'm dying
To be free
Gonna lay down
Like a sigh
In my Bed of Roses
Bed of Roses
I believed
My life would be
Roses die and
All the fairy tales
Are lies
And I guess
That's just too bad
For poor old me
Cause I made
And I'm gonna lie
In my Bed of Roses
Bed of Roses
I believed
My life would be
Bed of Roses
I believed
My life would be
