Sixty Five Roses

The time we spent together wasn't
always the best though I tried
to appreciate you so much more
When you were born I wanted so
very much more than you could ever want for yourself
And in your time spent here you brought me
so much joy beyond anything I'd ever known
much more than any other one I've ever loved
And the first time you said it
I thought I'd died, Sixty Five Roses
Sixty Five Roses
Picked by God's hand for you
Though it's hard to see now
He had a plan for you
Now you live with him
in a garden of roses
Sixty Five Roses, Sixty Five Roses
And on the day you left me here
I cried so hard in a bed of Sixty Five Roses
I remember your body scant and pale
your hands cold and damp
Your love and hope shown through
Your eyes - your lips as they
called out for God to take you home
And as I laid Sixty Five Roses
at your grave it
made me cry to think that
you couldn't ever count that high
65, 65, 65 Roses
