A Teardrop Fell on A Rose

All night long I thought of your arms,
Holding me all through the night.
Praying that you’d soon come home

Telling me all would be right.

I held a picture of you in my mind,
One of you holding me,
Then I felt a teardrop fall on a Rose,
A Rose that you once gave to me.

I could hear your gentle whisper,
As you said those words I long to hear.
I’ll love you forever more,
Always know darling I’ll care.

I opened my eyes, but you were gone,
No where were you for me to see.
Then another teardrop fell on a Rose,
A Rose that you once gave to me.

I miss you, and  I’m so lonely,
Since you have left and gone away,
I try to keep myself busy,
But the tears come everyday.

I rest on your pillow, I kiss you goodnight,
The pillow where you once lay your head.
Then I felt a teardrop fall on the Rose,

As I cried for your arms to hold me in our bed.
