Lorrie Morgan - A Good Year For The Roses lyrics

rate me

(Jerry Chesnut)<br />

<br />

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick<br />

On the cigarettes there in the ashtray<br />

Lyin' cold the way you left'em<br />

But at least your lips caressed them while you packed<br />

And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee<br />

That I poured and didn't drink<br />

But at least you thought you wanted it<br />

And that's so much more then I can say for me<br />

<br />

It's been a good year for the roses<br />

And many blooms still linger there<br />

The lawn could stand another mowin'<br />

Funny,I don't even care<br />

And when you turn to walk away<br />

As the door behind you closes<br />

The only thing I know to say<br />

It's been a good year for the roses<br />

<br />

After three full years of marriage<br />

It's the first time that I haven't made the bed<br />

I guess the reason we're not talkin'<br />

There's so little left to say,we haven't said<br />

And while a million thoughts go racin' through my mind<br />

I find I haven't spoke a word<br />

And from the bedroom,the familiar sounds<br />

Of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard<br />

<br />

But what a good year for the roses<br />

And may blooms still linger there<br />

The lawn could stand another mowin'<br />

Funny,I don't care<br />

And when you turn to walk away<br />

As the door behind you closes<br />

The only thing I know to say<br />

It's been a good year for the roses<br />

<br />

The only thing I know to say<br />

It's been a good year for the roses
