The Breath of a Rose
You have a soul as tender as the breath of a rose,
Each day my life’s worth living as our love grows and grows,
There never shone a star as bright, no sweeter words could have come to light.
And there’s a compensation to you life owes,
For your soul being as tender as the breath of a rose,
And the coldest night the winter wind blows
In my heart’s a humming that no one knows.
My love for you just gently flows,
While I sit and think of the words to compose.
May always your soul be tender
As the breath of a rose.
