A Kiss and a Rose
Tommie Connor, Patrick Toohey
[Verse 1]
It began, heaven knows
With a kiss and a rose
I remember it still
Just a kiss and a rose
None but the lonely heart
Can ever disclose
What it means to be left
With a kiss and a rose
For she vowed to be true
As she pledged me her love
And I know she was true
As the stars up above
[Chorus]
Though they made her another's bride
At the wedding, I heard she cried
Such is life, I suppose
Just a kiss and a rose
[Spoken Interlude]
None but the lonely heart
Can ever disclose
Just what it means to be left alone
With a kiss and a rose
For she vowed to be true
As she pledged me her love
And I know she was as true
As the stars way, way up above
[Chorus]
Though they made her another's bride
At the wedding, I heard she cried
Such is life, I suppose
Just a kiss and a rose
