Lyrics

Roses

[Intro]

How many roses

How many blue skies

How many sunsets

Before you realize

[Verse 1]

Caught up in the race again

News is flashin' and everyone is

Cashin' in

How many dollar bills

Would it take

For you to wake up and smell the roses

[Chorus]

How many roses

How many blue skies

How many sunsets

Before you realize

[Verse 2]

I got up on the plane in Amsterdam

I said "my sights are on Japan"

Touch ground and look out over the sea

I'm thinkin' 'bout home again

[Pre Chorus]

How many roads

Leads back

To you

How much more time

Will I get

To see them through

Are there so many years to see

What is standing right in front of me

(What is standing right in front of me)

[Chorus]

How many roses

How many blue skies

How many sunsets

Before you realize

[Outro]

So many roses fill the air

So many blue skies everywhere

So many roses fill the air

So many blue skies
