Til the Last Rose Dies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I never thought these hands of mine Would hold a love this true and kind I spent my years just gettin' by Then heaven walked into my life A quiet grace, a steady flame The day I learned to trust again You showed me what devotion means Beyond the words, beneath the seams [Chorus] I didn't know I could be loved this way A forever kind that won't fade away You're my rock when the world gets too strong The melody beneath every song 'Til the last rose dies, I'll hold you near Every season, every year, my dear [Verse 2] You raised my special boy with care Combed the tangles from my daughter's hair Taught her how to stand up tall To be a woman through it all You give so freely, never count The love you pour, the strength you mount Through every valley, every climb You've been there every single time [Chorus] I didn't know I could be loved this way A forever kind that won't fade away You're my rock when the world gets too strong The melody beneath every song 'Til the last rose dies, I'll hold you near Every season, every year, my dear [Bridge] God had a real good day, it's true The day His hands were making you Heather, every prayer I prayed Was answered in the love you gave [Verse 3] So take this ring, take this vow Take the man I've become now Built by your hands, healed by your grace Forever home inside your embrace Heather, this is just the start Of all the years I'll give my heart [Chorus] I didn't know I could be loved this way A forever kind that won't fade away You're my rock when the world gets too strong The melody beneath every song 'Til the last rose dies, I'll hold you near Every season, every year, my dear [Outro] Heather, 'til the last rose dies I'll be loving you, my whole life
