Marty Robbins - An Occasional Rose Lyrics
It's so hard to fight a memoryOnly time can be a healer of the pastAnd the thorns of love are manyWhen they're clingin' to a love that didn't lastYesterday is over and his memoryWill fade away with timeSo I'll accept a rose and just be patientTill all your love is mineI can take the thorns if there'sJust an occasional roseI can bear the pain for a whileEven though my heart knowsYou'll be thinkin' of him whenWe're makin' love, it always showsI can take the thorns if there'sJust an occasional roseThe road of love is rocky andBehind the blue sky there's a thousand stormsBut a smile or a touch or a love word'sLike a rose among the thornsWhen you say you love meIt erases all the worries on my mind'Cause you'll be with me tonightFor a little while his memory's left behindI can take the thorns if there'sJust an occasional roseI can bear the pain for a whileEven though my heart knowsYou'll be thinkin' of him whenWe're makin' love, it always showsI can take the thorns if there'sJust an occasional roseI can take the thorns if there'sJust an occasional rose
