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.
