Blue roses will blossom in the snow
 
 Before I ever let you go
 
 Blue roses will grow up to the sky
 
 Before I ever make you cry
 
 Blue roses...
 
  
  You need more reassurance
 
 Than a frightened orphan child
 
 That I'm always gonna want you
 
 That I'll always be beguiled
 
 So I search for words to tell you
 
 That my love for you is blind
 
 But this fragment of a children's song
 
 Is all that I can find
  
 
 Blue roses will blossom in the snow
 
 Before I ever let you go
 
 Blue roses will grow up to the sky
 
 Before I ever make you cry
 
 Blue roses...
  
 
 This nursery rhyme is corny,
 
 It is stranded out of time
 
 Yet it's simple and it's honest
 
 The same and since when was that a crime ? 
 
 And perhaps whoever wrote it
 
 Loved someone like I love you
 
 For in matters of the heart I've learned
 
 There's little that is new
  
 
 Blue roses will blossom in the snow
 
 Before I ever let you go
 
 Blue roses will grow up to the sky
 
 Before I ever make you cry
 
 Blue roses...
