Larry Sparks - Don't Neglect the Rose lyrics

There stands a rose, down in your garden You left it there, so all alone It's been neglected, feels unwanted Since no love, to it is shown It's beauty now, is fastly fading Once it was, the brightest red It's withering fast, It's head is bowing And no kind words, to it are said Chorus: Please don't neglect the rose, In your garden Show it your love, every day Then it will bloom for you in all it's beauty And it will not, fade away I guess by now, you know my story Don't neglect, a love that's true For it may prove to be, the sweetest flower That will ever, bloom for you It could be a mother, sister or brother A husband, wife, or little child Or it may be, your own true lover That you've neglected, all the while Chorus: Please don't neglect the rose…
