Joan Osborne Dead Roses Lyrics

Dead Roses Lyrics

Do you think about the days when we were in love

When I whispered word to send us both to heaven

Now I'll press a kiss but I know it doesn't move you

But oh, I just can't seem to let it go



Dead letters with words that are no longer true

Dead silence where your promise used to be

You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you

Dead roses are still beautiful to me



Well, I still hang around, put money in the jukebox

Play those songs, let him ring the tears for me

Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home

But that's where all those memories will be



Dead letters with words that are no longer true

Dead silence where your promise used to be

You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you

Dead roses are still beautiful to me, yeah



Dead letters with words that are no longer true

Dead silence where your promise used to be

You don't want me anymore but honey I'd rather be with you

Dead roses are still beautiful to me

Dead roses are still beautiful to me, uh, oh
