 WILD ROSES 
(music and lyrics by Dan O’Brien © July 7, 2013)

1) It was this kind of Sunday
    Many summers ago,
    The sun shone as brightly,
    And a warm breeze did blow,
    They walked hand in hand then
    And fell in love so,
    The day they strolled thru the meadow
    Where the wild roses grow.

2) He asked her to wed him
    And become his wife,
    She said, “ Oh yes my darling,
    Why for all of my life
    I have waited for someone
    Who I could love so,
    And today, Love, I’ve found you
    Where the wild roses grow".

(Bridge)                                             
    They would stroll thru the meadow  
    Each summer that came
    To see the wild roses in bloom,
    But every year as they both became older, it seemed
    Those pretty flowers would fade away too soon.

3) One day he stroked her dear face
    With a trembling hand
    And said, “Today I must leave you,
    I know that you’ll understand, 
    But there’s one thing my darling
    That I need you to know,
    I’ll wait for you in heaven
    Where the wild roses grow".

4) She laid her head on his heart then
    As he drifted away,
    And she’d always remember
    The words that she heard him say,
    Now when she sees their wild roses 
    In the meadow below,
    She knows he waits there in heaven
    Where those wild roses grow.

(End)                                                  
    She’ll find him in heaven
    Where the wild roses grow.
