I used to imagine that you stayed
And that I was able to touch your face
I can remember how I cried
Wishing you were with me
I used to wonder about your day
And if I was present in some way
I needed to feel like I was loved
I needed you desperately

But I'm thankful, I'm grateful
And you will always be to me

Forever like a rose
One so beautiful
A symbol of love that I can hold
Your petals shower me
And I can feel your presence all around me
Forever like a rose
You're so incredible
I can feel it still so powerful
I finally believe
That I can have your presence all around me

I never was able to understand
Why both of you chose to be just friends
Thought we were a stronger family
I guess I was wrong
I was left with just holidays
Maybe a Saturday or a Sunday
Never had much time to spend together
And I felt so alone

But I'm thankful and grateful
And you will always be to me... Forever

Forever like a rose
One so beautiful
A symbol of love that I can hold
Your petals shower me
And I can feel your presence all around me
Forever like a rose
You're so incredible
I can feel it still so powerful
I finally believe
That I can have your presence all around me

I'm glad you have you life
With your two new children and your wife
It lifts my soul to see...You happy
You will always be...Forever like a rose

Forever like a rose
One so beautiful
A symbol of love that I can hold
Your petals shower me
And I can feel your presence all around me
Forever like a rose
You're so incredible
I can feel it still so powerful
I finally believe
That I can have your presence all around me

Forever like a rose
One so beautiful
A symbol of love that I can hold
Your petals shower me
And I can feel your presence all around me... I Love You...
Forever like a rose
You're so incredible
I can feel it still so powerful
I finally believe
That I can have your presence all around me
