The roses each one
Met with the sun
Sweetheart, when I met you

The sunshine had fled
The roses were dead
Sweetheart, when I lost you

I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew

I lost the angel who gave me
Summer, the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you

The birds ceased their song
Right turned to wrong
Sweetheart, when I lost you

A day turned to years
The world seemed in tears
Sweetheart, when I lost you
I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew

I lost the angel who gave me
Summer, the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you
