CHORUS: Love is a rose But you better not pick it It only grows when it's on the vine A handful of thorns, And you'll know you've missed it You lose your love when you say the word "mine" I want to see what's never been seen I want to live an age-old dream Come along, boys, we can go together Let's take the best right now Take the best right now CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE (Take the best right now) I want to go to an old hotel Long ago in a western town Pick me up 'cause my feet are draggin' Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon CHORUS (2x) Mine Love is a rose (mine) Love is a rose (mine) Love is a rose (mine) Love is a rose CHORUS (2x) Love is a rose Love is a rose (repeat and fade out)
