A lifetime comes and goes
And my friend the rose
Told me this morning
At dawn I was born
Baptized with the dew
I blossomed
Happy and in love
To the rays of the sun
I was closed during the night
I awoke old.
Yet I was very beautiful
Yes, I was the most beautiful
Of the flowers of your garden.
A lifetime comes and goes
And my friend the rose
Told me this morning
See the God who
Made me Bow my head
And I feel I’m falling now
And I feel I’m falling now
My heart is almost bare
My feet are in the grave
Already I’m gone
You admired me yesterday
And I will be dust
Forever tomorrow
A lifetime comes and goes
And my friend the rose
Died this morning
The moon tonight
Assured my friend.
In a dream, I saw
Dazzling and naked
His soul dancing
Far beyond the clouds
And smiled
The ones who can believe
Me, I need to hope
Otherwise I ‘m nothing
A Life time comes and goes
That’s what my friend the rose
Said yesterday morning
