I wrote this song for my beautiful mother, who died of cancer Sept 20, 2010.
Lyrics
Lovely as a rose swaying through the breeze
Gentle as a dove flying through the sky so free
Cherished as the sunshine
Precious as the rain
You’re lovely as a rose to me
Lovely as a rose which blossomed yesterday
Surer than the rain when it starts to fall
Hopeful as the starlight
Faithful as the sky
You’re lovely as a rose to me
Sometimes I get to crying when you feel so far away
Then I remember you’re no further than my heart
Other times I get to wondering why it must be this way
Then I remember it’s been fated from the start
Lovely as a rose resting in my hand
Gentle as a storm which finally yields to grey
Cherished as the sunrise
Precious as the day
You’re lovely as a rose to me
Lovely as a rose…to me
