Lyrics

Love is a Rose (Live 11/11/76)

[Verse 1]

Love is a rose but you better not pick it

It only grows when it's on the vine

A handful of thorns and you’ll know you've missed it

You lose your love when you say the word mine

Mine

[Bridge]

I want to see what's never been seen

I want to live that age old dream

Come on, girl, we can go together

Let’s take the best right now

Take the best right now

[Verse 2]

I wanna go to an old hoedown

Long ago in a western town

Pick me up but my feet are draggin'

Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon

[Verse 1]

Love is a rose but you better not pick it

It only grows whеn it's on the vine

A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missеd it

You lose your love when you say the word mine

You lose your love when you say the word mine

[Outro]

Love is a rose

Love is a rose

Love is a rose

Love is a rose
