Faded Red Roses

She stood at the alter A gown of white she did wear With a bouquet of red roses And blue ribbons in her hair She waited for someone Who was never to come Tears leaked from her eyes Across her cheeks did run The bouquet of red roses For her wedding day Have all now faded As time slipped away Those faded red roses She still holds in her hand Years have come and gone Waiting for this man You’ll still find her With tears in her eyes As the hopes he’ll still come Fade like the roses Washed too much by the sun Today she still waits all alone Those faded red roses in her hand Is now all that she owns
