Reba McEntire - Roses
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
F
A soft summer evening, another time, another place
C G
He brought her red roses on their very first date
C C7 F
She got carried away by the things that he said
C G C
Time would erase them, but she would never forget
[CHORUS:]
Bb Am Gm F
And the roses heard it all
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
C
The roses in the paper on the wall
Bb F Bb C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk
[INTERLUDE:] C Bb F Bb C
[VERSE 2:]
F
Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place
C G
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face
C C7 F
While he talks in his sleep, confessing his love
C G C
He calls out a name that she's never heard of
[CHORUS:]
Bb Am Gm F
And the roses heard it all
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
C
The roses in the paper on the wall
Bb F Bb C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk
[BRIDGE:]
Bb
She never told him
F C C-Cadd9-C-
She never let him see her cry
Dm
Only the roses know
F G
What she kept down inside
[VERSE 3:]
F
The years took their toll and the angels took her away
C G
Now there's family and friends at a cold winter's grave
C C7 F
He kneels down and whispers, "You're the only love that I've known"
C G C
As he lays a rose on a cold marble stone
[CHORUS:]
Bb Am Gm F
But the roses heard it all
The rose from her garden, the rose in her bible
C
The roses in the paper on the wall
Bb F Bb C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk
Bb F Bb C
What a story they'd tell if roses could talk
