A red rose for you
my darling
Thrown in a loving
gesture
To a play - our lives
in a concerto
A musical dream
of enchantment
A melody of sweet
kisses
And a rose -
red like our love

A red rose for you
my sweetness
In adoration I
declare my heart
A gift of enticement,
of endearment
A loving kiss
in red petals
Strewn on our
bed of enchantment
A red rose, undying
token of our love

A dream, a reality
a rose red
Full bloom and
youthful yet
An undeniable love
I declare
Casting aside my
cares
And sweetly caressing
your softness
A red rose for you
my darling
- in adoration
