A rose should be
Where the sun shines through
Not where the wine is red
And the smoke is blue.

A rose should be
Blooming in the light
Not in a randezvous
Blooming in the night.

And you are a rose
May be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home
For all to see.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jim+reeves/wild+rose_20343039.html ]
To stand with me
Where the candles glow
With orange blossoms
All around the wild, wild rose.

--- Instrumental ---

And you are a rose
May be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home
For all to see.

To stand with me
Where the candles glow
With orange blossoms
All around the wild, wild rose...
