One Run for the Roses

Talk with me a little while walk with me one more mile

Meantime I´ll pretend the world´s all clover

Try to think of something we can say to make it better

Nothing to remind me it´s all over

I feel as though I´ve ran a race here I am in second place

It´s no secret everybody knows it

So pour my wine in a silver cup one more time then hang it up

And this will be my one run for the ro-ses

Wishing on the one hand I could look at love like you can

And take it with a little grain of salt

Knowing on the other hand I´d never love this much again

Or maybe I could simply laugh it off

I may find somebody new stop my soul from wanting you

I could try but baby I don´t know this

How could I love daffodils when scarlet pedals always will

Remind me of my one run for the ro-ses

If we should meet again can I pretend

I´m just someone who barely knows you

With time alone on my side I´ll leave an awful lot of pride

And finally play the part I´m suppose to

Now I take what´s left of me try to bow out gracefully

Hoping your new love won´t even notice

One day I may learn to live with violets and daffodils

Knowing I made one run for the roses

And this will be my one run for the ro-ses
