Gene Clark A Rose Is A Rose Lyrics

A Rose Is A Rose Lyrics

If a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose 
And a girl is a girl is a girl 
How can it be, that the one next to me 
Is the only rose in the world 
 
And we know as we grow, that the rose will unfold 
As the sea turns the sand into pearls 
How can it be, that when you`re next to me 
You`re the only girl in the world 
 
How long has it been? 
No need to pretend no one knows 
Long lost friends 
Two hearts on the mend and it shows 
 
Look at the lessons we`ve learned 
How many bridges have burned 
All of the faces, all of the names 
So many places, so many games 
 
If a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose 
And a girl is a girl is a girl 
How can it be, that the one next to me 
Is the only rose in the world 
 
And we know as we grow, that the rose will unfold 
As the sea turns the sand into pearls 
How can it be, that when you`re next to me 
You`re the only girl in the world 
 
When I look at your face 
I still see a trace of the past 
We don`t have to worry 
We`re not going to hurry so fast 
 
We`ve both been growing for years 
With more than our share of tears 
We can be lovers, we can be friends 
The rose uncovers the mighty oak bends 
How does it go? 
 
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose (repeat)
