Marty Robbins - An Occasional Rose lyrics

rate me

It's so hard to fight a memory<br />

Only time can be a healer of the past<br />

And the thorns of love are many<br />

When they're clingin' to a love that didn't last<br />

Yesterday is over and his memory<br />

Will fade away with time<br />

So I'll accept a rose and just be patient<br />

Till all your love is mine<br />

<br />

I can take the thorns if there's<br />

Just an occasional rose<br />

I can bear the pain for a while<br />

Even though my heart knows<br />

You'll be thinkin' of him when<br />

We're makin' love, it always shows<br />

I can take the thorns if there's<br />

Just an occasional rose<br />

<br />

The road of love is rocky and<br />

Behind the blue sky there's a thousand storms<br />

But a smile or a touch or a love word's<br />

Like a rose among the thorns<br />

When you say you love me<br />

It erases all the worries on my mind<br />

'Cause you'll be with me tonight<br />

For a little while his memory's left behind<br />

<br />

I can take the thorns if there's<br />

Just an occasional rose<br />

I can bear the pain for a while<br />

Even though my heart knows<br />

You'll be thinkin' of him when<br />

We're makin' love, it always shows<br />

I can take the thorns if there's<br />

Just an occasional rose<br />

<br />

I can take the thorns if there's<br />

Just an occasional rose
