Lyrics
ROSES IN THE SAND - LYRICS
Carlene Thissen, Barbara Meyers, Martha Christian
Rows of white chairs on a sandy beach
Daddy all dressed up, gave me away
My dress flowed in the ocean breeze
Ribbons and roses in my bouquet
I remember that day - before the war took you away.
CHORUS
Walking today, I find roses on the beach
Someone else's memories washed up at my feet
Reminders that our love will never end
You're with me again.... in roses in the sand.
VERSE 2:
Sailed out at sunset, I was holding on
All heads bowed, the chaplain prayed
They handed me the medals from your uniform
We tossed roses as the bugle played
And I remember that day, flowers floating on the waves
CHORUS
Walking today, I find roses on the beach
Someone else's memories washed up at my feet
Reminders that our love will never end
You're with me again.... in roses in the sand.
BRIDGE:
I see these flowers and smile through my tears
Long-stemmed memories keep you near
CHORUS:
Walking today, I find roses on the beach
Someone else's memories washed up at my feet
Reminders that our love will never end
You're with me again.... in roses in the sand.
