LORD I'M SO LONELY
HOW WILL I EVER FIND MY WAY
I LOOK OUT MY WINDOW
RAIN'S FALLING DOWN JUST LIKE THE TEARS ON MY FACE
IT FEELS LIKE THIS PAIN COULD LAST FOREVER
NOW THAT I KNOW SHE'S NOT COMIN BACK
SO MANY THINGS THAT I TRIED TO SAY
IT DIDN'T MATTER SHE WOULDN'T STAY
I SMELLED THE ROSES THE OTHER DAY
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
SHE HAD HER REASONS
SHE NEVER FELT THERE WAS A NEED TO EXPLAIN
AND SHE WON'T BE KNOCKIN'
AND SHE WON'T BE CALLIN ON THE PHONE
IT FEELS LIKE THIS PAIN COULD LAST FOREVER
NOW THAT I KNOW SHE'S NOT COMIN BACK
SO MANY THINGS THAT I TRIED TO SAY
IT DIDN'T MATTER SHE WOULDN'T STAY
I SMELLED THE ROSES THE OTHER DAY
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
I SMELLED THE ROSES THE OTHER DAY
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
SO MANY THINGS THAT I TRIED TO SAY
IT DIDN'T MATTER SHE WOULDN'T STAY
I SMELLED THE ROSES THE OTHER DAY
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
SO MANY THINGS THAT I TRIED TO SAY, DARLIN
IT DIDN'T MATTER SHE WOULDN'T STAY NO, NO, NO
I SMELLED THE ROSES THE OTHER DAY
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
I WOKE UP TO SMELL THEM ROSES
WHEN SHE WALKED AWAY
