Stolen Rose

Somebody's garden is missing a rose
It came through the mail without ribbons or bows
No name on the card, but its message was clear
Stolen rose kissed by a tear

I knew she loved flowers, but with pockets so bare
Little would know but to my lady fair
No costly gift of elaborate display
Could ever replace this bouquet

So the story with its moral
Begs forgiveness, stills a quarrel
Loving me one stolen rose

This rose garden thief, to her memory, a slave
May one crimson rose save our love from a grave
God who walks among flowers, where love blooms and grows
Please pardon this one stolen rose

Here's the story with its moral
Begs forgiveness, stills a quarrel
Loving me one stolen rose
