Yesterday’s roses

C F

1. Roses, pressed in a Bible,

G C

bring wonderful memories of you,

F

roses, withered and faded,

G G7 C - C7

the same as the love we once knew.

F C

Yesterday's roses covered with teardrops,

G C - C7

yesterday's teardrops sparkle like dew.

F C

I'll always treasure yesterday's roses,

G C - G - C

tellin' a story that never came true.

C F

2. Sometimes when I'm alone, dear,

G C

my poor heart is breaking inside.

F

True love we might have known, dear,

G G7 C - C7

but just like the roses, it died.

F C

Yesterday's roses covered with teardrops,

G C - C7

yesterday's teardrops sparkle like dew.

F C

I'll always treasure yesterday's roses,

G C

tellin' a story that never came true.
