This rose is made of paper,
a fact that’s sad but true…
It’s not as pretty as the ones god made,
But it’s the best that I can do.
Never touched by morning- dew,
these tears I hold behind my eyes,
keep it watered just for you
God made his for the world to see,
mine was made just for you.
So when you’re feelin- down or blue,
as I know you often do
Look upon this rose of mine,
and know that I love you.
