First Rose of Spring

The first time that he saw her

He knew everything had changed

Overnight love started blooming

Like the first rose of spring

Auburn hair like a sunrise

Sweetest smile he'd ever seen

Butterflies, they danced around her

Like the first rose of spring

Summertime would've never started

And wintertime would never end

She colored his life, opened his eyes

To things he'd never dream

Without the first rose of spring

Gave him children like a garden

They gave 'em all the love they'd need

To grow up strong, she made a home

And every year he'd bring

Her the first rose of spring

The last time he saw her

He knew everything had changed

He said goodbye and let the tears fall like rain

On the first rose of spring
