The Rose Is For Today

(álbum: Never Gets Old: Traditional Country Series - 2018)

I surprised her at work today and brought her a red rose
Then for an hour we slipped away and had lunch just for two
No I didn't get that job today so that new dress will have to wait
And though she planned to wear it Sunday she just smiled and said okay

She knows the rose is for today, my love is for always
And a rose is all I can give till better times come our way
She knows I'll still be needing her long after the petals fade
The rose is for today, my love is for always

When we're home and the day is done she hugs my neck because she knows I'm down
Talking low and letting feelings show she says my love is all that counts
But I want a mansion to shelter her and we'll have it all someday
For every petal on the red rose I promise you'll have a bouquet

She knows the rose is for today, my love is for always
And a rose is all I can give till better times come our way
She knows I'll still be needing her long after the petals fade
The rose is for today, my love is for always
The rose is for today, my love is for always
