Amie Comeaux - A Single Crimson Rose lyrics

(jim beauhall/s. johns) A little boy not much more than a baby Found a rose and picked it like a child would do Proudly he went running to his mommy And with a grin he said, "look what me find for you" A teenage boy packed groceries at the market A rebel kid sometimes a little wild But every year on mother's day and birthdays He'd bring her a rose just like that little child A single crimson rose In time became a symbol of Endless love shared between A mother and her son A single crimson rose Was a special way to say I'll always love you come what may A single crimson rose At eighteen, he enlisted in the army To fight a war he felt needed to be won Sometimes he'd write on mother's days and birthdays He never failed to send a rose to mom That soldier now is coming home a hero With his medals to the mother that he loves With tear-filled eyes, she tells him how she's missed him And on his casket lays a single crimson rose A single crimson rose In time became a symbol of Endless love shared between A mother and her son A single crimson rose Was a special way to say I'll always love you come what may A single crimson rose A single crimson rose Was a special way to say I'll always love you come what may A single crimson rose A little boy not much more than a baby Found a rose and picked it like a child would do
