You were a little rose, one in my heart
You were a little rose, mine
But wild blackberry isn't for you
Nor a man like me
God gives me, God takes from me
You were a little rose, but you are no longer
From time to time
Like I hear the steps
As if you're going over my doorstep
From time to time
But I know I have no rights
You're no longer my dear
They were flying tonight over my roof
They were flying, migratory birds
And I was dreaming about your knees
And your kisses
God gives me, God takes from me
You were a little rose, but you are no longer
From time to time
Like I hear the steps
As if you're going over my doorstep
From time to time
But I know I have no rights
You're no longer my dear
