Joan Osborne — Dead Roses lyrics

Lyrics

Do you think about the days when we were in love
When I whispered word to send us both to heaven
Now I’ll press a kiss but I know it doesn’t move you
But oh, I just can’t seem to let it go Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be You don’t want me anymore but I’d rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me Well, I still hang around, put money in the jukebox
Play those songs, let him ring the tears for me Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home
But that’s where all those memories will be Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be You don’t want me anymore but I’d rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me, yeah
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Dead silence where your promise used to be You don’t want me anymore but honey I’d rather be with you
Dead roses are still beautiful to me Dead roses are still beautiful to me, uh, oh
