I brought flowers to your house last night
I done you wrong and I want to make right
You said I'm not welcome here
I know it oughta be perfectly clear
But I can't help but wonder what it might be like

If I had two dozen roses, and an old bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon, would it change your mind
If I could cry a little harder, and get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind

Oh I must have been a fool back then
To lose something that you can't have again
I've done all that I know to do
and second guessed my every move
and I can't help but wonder how it might have been

If I had two dozen roses, and an old bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon, would it change your mind
If I could cry a little harder, and get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind

If I had two dozen roses, and an old bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon would it change your mind
If I could cry a little harder, and get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind

If I could cry a little harder, and get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses would it change your mind
Baby would it change your mind
Oh Baby could you change your mind
Baby would you change your mind

Shenandoah

Shenandoah is an American country music group founded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1984 by Marty Raybon (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Ralph Ezell (bass guitar, backing vocals), Stan Thorn (keyboards, backing vocals), Jim Seales (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Mike McGuire (drums, background vocals). Thorn and Ezell left the band in the mid-1990s, with Rocky Thacker taking over on bass guitar; Keyboardist Stan Munsey joined the line up in 1995. The band split up in 1997 after Raybon left. Seals, Munsey and McGuire reformed the band in 2000 with lead singer Brent Lamb, who was in turn replaced by Curtis Wright and then by Jimmy Yeary. Ezell rejoined in the early 2000s, and after his 2007 death, he was replaced by Mike Folsom. more »
