Elton John & Leon Russell - I Should Have Sent Roses lyrics

rate me

Are you standing outside?

Looking up at the sky

Cursing a wandering star

Well if I were you

I'd throw rocks at the moon

And I'd say "Damn you wherever you are"

I don't know where to start

This cage round my heart

Locked up what I meant to say

What I felt all along the way

Just wondering how come

I couldn't take your breath away

'Cause I never sent roses

I never did enough

I didn't know how to love you

Though I loved you so much

And I should have sent roses

When you crossed my mind

For no other reason

Than the fact you were mine

Looking back on my life

If fate should decide

To let me do it all over again

I'd build no more walls

I'd stay true and recall

The fragrance of you on the wind

You'll do better than me

Someone who can see

Right from the start give you all that you need

And I'll slip away

Knowing I'm half the man I should be

'Cause I never sent roses

I never did enough

I didn't know how to love you

Though I loved you so much

And I should have sent roses

When you crossed my mind

For no other reason

Than the fact you were mine

I should have sent roses

Should have sent roses
