One Red Rose

[Verse 1]

The rain came down on a tin roof

Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party

The kitchen light fell asleep on a bedroom floor

Well, me and her were talking softer

Than all the time before I lost her

Picture sat on top of the chest of drawers

[Chorus]

One red rose in the Bible

Pressed between the holy alphabet

Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me

But what I never knew, I never will forget

[Verse 2]

Rainy nights get dark real early

Her dress was soft, her hair was curly

We danced around the table to the old banjo

Rainy nights were made for lovers

We lay there still beneath the covers

And I ain't never felt like that before

[Chorus]

One red rose in the Bible

Pressed between the holy alphabet

Probably wouldn't believe you, if you told me

But what I never knew, I never will forget
