Lyrics

A Rose Too Lovely

I watched God paint the sunrise this morning
Pink and purple on gray, it was delicate hue.
I nearly cried as it faded to daylight
Made me think of my last look at you

All day long I’ve had daydreams about you
But I think I’ve been dreaming too much
You’re the prairie sunrise, silver tears in my eyes
You’re a Rose Too Lovely to touch

I loved you the day that I met you
I love you the more, the more that I see
But what would a beautiful diamond
Ever want with an old boy like me?

I catch myself dreaming about you
But I’d best not be dreaming too much
You’re a bride dressed in white, you’re my last thought at night
You’re a Rose Too Lovely to touch

(instrumental)

I catch myself thinking about you,
I’d best not be thinking so much
You’re my Martin in tune, you’re why God made the moon
You’re a Rose Too Lovely to touch

You’re my whole world in tune, you’re why God made the moon
You’re a Rose Too Lovely to touch.
