Send me no roses
Please, no more roses
Your roses can't hold me
What I need most is you.

Without fail everyday
Since you went away
The doorbell rings
You're sending roses again.

In my room all petals fall
But darling, that's not all
I read your card then
A million tears began.

Though the love we once knew
Still lives inside of you
The one who holds you now
Won't set you free.

To see me you don't dare
But roses say you care
Tell her goodbye
Then please return to me.

But send me no roses
Please, no more roses
Roses are red I know
But to my tears they look blue.

Send me no roses
Please, no more roses
Your roses can't hold me
What I need most is you...
