C
It’s so hard to fight a memory
F
Only time can be a healer of the past
G7
And the thorns of love are many
C
When they’re clinging to a love that didn’t last
F
Will fade away with time
C
G7
So I’ll accept a rose and just be patient
C
Till all your love is mine
F
I can take the thorns if there’s
C
Just an occasional rose
F
I can bear the pain for a while
G7
Even though my heart knows
C
You’ll be thinking of him when
F
We’re making love it always shows
C
G7
I can take the thorns if there’s
C
Just an occasional rose
F
Behind the blue sky there’s a thousand storms
G7
But a smile or a touch or a love word’s
C
Like a rose among the thorns
F
It erases all the worries on my mind
C
G7
Cause you’ll be with me tonight
C
For a little while his memory’s left behind
F
I can take the thorns if there’s
C
Just an occasional rose
F
I can bear the pain for a while
G7
Even though my heart knows
C
You’ll be thinking of him when
F
We’re making love it always shows
C
G7
I can take the thorns if there’s
C
Just an occasional rose
G7
I can take the thorns if there’s
C
Just an occasional rose
G7
