Lyrics
1. The roses each one, met with the sun
Sweetheart, when I met you
The sunshine had fled, the roses were dead
Sweetheart, when I lost you
Chorus
I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me
Summer, the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you
2. The birds ceased their song, right turned to wrong
Sweetheart, when I lost you
A day turned to years, the world seemed in tears
Sweetheart, when I lost you
Performance
