Bed of Roses

The sunshine told the flowers

That you're not here anymore

Their petals just don't seem to smile

Quite like they did before

Your name is whispered in the wind

Each time I feel the breeze

The willows miss you since you left

And all of the other trees

The birds won't sing their happy songs

Like they did when you were here

The rainbows come to look for you

But then they disappear

You always took care of the flowers

Now the flowers take care of you

You fill them with your presence

The way you used to do

In a beautiful bed of roses

Is where the angels let you sleep

But you're the most beautiful flower

That the roses will ever keep
