That One Last Rose (Mix 2)

One by one we've lost the roses

Of days of yore

Where is the solid ground?

What are you hanging round here for?

One by one we've lost the roses

There ain't no more

Throw out that one last rose

And gently close the door

One by one we've lost the roses

We didn't care

We made a pretty pair

We scattered roses everywhere

One by one we've lost the roses

Who counts the cost?

Throw out that one last rose

It goes with those we've lost

"There goes another one,"

We'd laugh and have our fun

We didn't know our race was run

We didn't know our time was done

One by one we've lost the roses

They go so fast

Throw out that one last rose

And with it goes the past

"There goes another one,"

We'd laugh and have our fun

We didn't know our race was run

We didn't know our time was done

One by one we've lost the roses

There ain't no more

Throw out that one last rose

And gently close the door
