I would send her a rose when I couldn't wake at home
I was always away she was always alone
But the roses couldn't hold her tight or keep her warm in the night
And in time she slipped away I can still hear her say

Send me no roses send no roses today
Just like our dreams their fragrance will soo fade away
The magic is gone our love has died on the vine
Send me no roses roses can't bring it back this time

Empty arms reachin' out left so unsatisfied
Needin' so much to find love that she once denied
What she wanted was my love roses weren't quite enough
I remember the day that I heard baby say

Send me no roses send no roses today...
Send me no roses send no roses today...
