Lady Of The Blue Rose - Shawn Phillips

Lady, like a blue rose, soft and clear, you glow

Woman, are you coming home?

You know that I could love you so

I’d never make you go

Lady, of the blue rose

In your time be mine

I saw you from years ago

I’ve told the truth

And now you know

You told me it was so

Lady, for a blue rose, will you share my life?

Stars are born and then they die

And I know that we could learn to fly

For love can never die

The blue rose in the garden

That someday may exist

The blue rose of the legend

That task of nature’s twist

The blue rose of a heaven

That’s deep within our souls

The blue rose of our union

The one that I behold, I behold, I behold

Lady, see the blue rose

Make it shine for you

Close your eyes and you will see

And it will show you how to be

And to care for me

Lady, you’re my blue rose

You’re the only one

Share this gift that we two have

For all that need and cannot have

For that may never pass by
