Oh, how I wish the color would never fade,
But with time dark days have taken love away,
The sky started turning gray,
Oh, how my world
I lived felt much pain,
The rain would never end,
The roses in the garden lost its color
The roots were no longer strong
The rain rotten the roots,
Now, all the beauty of the red roses
Turned into black rose dust;
When the valley was once green
I would see the colors of red, white and pink,
That was a delight to my eyes,
But again, that was one love was on my side,
Oh, how love made me fill so alive;
Like I was sleeping and dreaming
Walking on red roses all at once!
But that was ancient ago,
Now, all the red roses are dead,
And I am resting in my bed;
Hoping one day love will return
and give my life a true meaning again,
Where the red roses will fill the valley
with its Beauty, again.
