You were a rose in my heart
You were my rose
But a wild blackberry isn't good enough for you
Nor a man like me
God gives me
God takes from me
You were a rose
But now you're not anymore
Ref.
From time to time
It's like I hear your footsteps
It's like your crossing my threshold
From time to time
But I know I have no right
You're not my darling anymore
Tonight above my roof they flew
Migratory birds flew
But I was dreaming
About your knees and your kisses
God gives me
God takes from me
You were a rose
But now you're not anymore
