Send Me No Roses by Tommy Overstreet Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1973

I would send her a rose
When I couldn't make it home
I was always away she was always alone

But roses couldn't hold her tight
Or keep her warm in the night
And in time she slipped away
I can still hear her say

Send me no roses
Send no roses today
Just like our dreams
The fragrance will soon fade away

The magic is gone
Our love has died on the vine
Send no roses
Roses can't bring it back this time

Empty arms reaching out
Left so unsatisfied
Needing so much to find
The love she was denied
What she wanted was my love
Roses weren't quite enough
I remember the day that I heard baby say

Send me no roses
Send no roses today
Just like our dreams
The fragrance will soon fade away

The magic is gone
Our love has died on the vine
Send no roses
Roses can't bring it back this time

Send me no roses
Send no roses today
Just like our dreams
The fragrance will soon fade away

The magic is gone
Our love has died on the vine
Send no roses
Roses can't bring it back this time
