Intro : (3x)

I picked a ro se this morn ing

And it wa s so fre sh it looked like it was crying

I thought how sa d to be so b eautiful

Only to wi ther and di e

Like papa's ro ses s oft and pale

Like petals thro wn in the d irt

Only sile nce is s poken here

All that grows he re is hurt

And papa's ros es

Papa wasn't rea lly a h ardened man

He could be te nder at t imes

I remembe r it was like a h oliday

When he was ge ntle and ki nd

He gave those flo wers his h eart and soul

I wish he'd sa ved some for m e

It would have be en such a s imple thing

For me to be

Like papa's ro ses s oft and pale

Like petals thro wn in the d irt

Only sile nce is s poken here

All that grows he re is hurt

Voices that whi sper s oft and low

Forever bu ried ins ide

Haunted by i mages d ark and cold

Forever bu rned in your mi nd

But I drea med I could f ly away

Like an ange l I'd f ly

To a pla ce where I could f orget

Forget tha t I was li ke

Like papa's ro ses s oft and pale

Like petals thro wn in the d irt

Only sile nce is s poken here

All that grows he re is hurt

And papa's ros es

Like papa's ro ses s oft and pale

Like petals thro wn in the d irt

Only sile nce is s poken here

All that grows he re is hurt

And papa's ros es

Papa's ro ses
