One Red Rose

They say sometimes less is more
When you’re trying to express
To the one that you adore
How she brings you happiness.
Your eyes tell me there’s no need for words
To tell you how the feeling grows.
A sip of wine, a single kiss
And one red rose.

A rose of passion,
A rose of trust,
Deep with emotion
With a touch of lust,
Filled with secrets
Only your heart knows.
I can say it all
With one red rose.

I used to think that to win at love
I had to give you lavish gifts,
Expensive jewelry, fancy clothes
Meant to make your spirits lift.
Now I see it’s the simple things
That let you know why my love grows,
Like the words of a sweet love song
And one red rose.

A rose of passion,
A rose of trust,
Deep with emotion
With a touch of lust,
Filled with secrets
Only your heart knows.
I can say it all
With one red rose.
