While strolling through a lovely garden As day was drawing to a close My eyes beheld a tragic story I saw a teardrop on a rose. It should have been a tear of gladness But deep inside the sorrow shows A trusting heart had just been broken I saw a teardrop on a rose. A sobbing tear that follows parting Holds all the pain that sorrow knows A false goodbye, a life is shattered There lies a story on a rose. The tear will dry the rose will wither When spring and winter comes and goes I loved, I lost, my story ended With just a teardrop on a rose.
