A Dozen White Roses

One for the love in your eyes

Two for that fateful night

When you held my hand

And asked me to dance

An my heart spread its wings and took flight

Three for the dozen kisses or so

Four for your warm embrace

When under the twilight

Stars lit up the night

And we held each other through the blaze

Five for that beautiful smile of yours

Six for your gorgeous eyes

When you gaze at me all night

And the wrongs become right

And like raindrops falling, falls the ice

Seven for all the gifts that you sent

Eight for the memories

After all these years

And too many tears

It's you that I still try to please

Nine for every last glass of wine

Ten for that bottle of gin

The liquor was fun

But when all's said and done

It was you who took my heart in

Eleven for the days that felt like heaven

Twelve for the days like hell

A dozen white roses, each one in its prime -

These for our life spent so well.
