A Single Crimson Rose Lyrics
(Jim Beauhall/S. Johns)A little boy not much more than a babyFound a rose and picked it like a child would doProudly he went running to his mommyAnd with a grin he said, "Look what me find for you"A teenage boy packed groceries at the marketA rebel kid sometimes a little wildBut every year on Mother's Day and birthdaysHe'd bring her a rose just like that little childA single crimson roseIn time became a symbol ofEndless love shared betweenA mother and her sonA single crimson roseWas a special way to sayI'll always love you come what mayA single crimson roseAt eighteen, he enlisted in the armyTo fight a war he felt needed to be wonSometimes he'd write on Mother's Days and birthdaysHe never failed to send a rose to momThat soldier now is coming home a heroWith his medals to the mother that he lovesWith tear-filled eyes, she tells him how she's missed himAnd on his casket lays a single crimson roseA single crimson roseIn time became a symbol ofEndless love shared betweenA mother and her sonA single crimson roseWas a special way to sayI'll always love you come what mayA single crimson roseA single crimson roseWas a special way to sayI'll always love you come what mayA single crimson roseA little boy not much more than a babyFound a rose and picked it like a child would do
