Roses of yesterday Faded and thrown away Love is a pale bouquet Of yesterday's roses Roses were once in bloom Here in my lonely room Now there's a faint perfume Of yesterday's roses Roses of crimson red Faded when love was dead Quickly the summer fled And winter discloses That it was not to be And all that's left for me Is a sweet memory Of yesterday's roses Roses of crimson red Faded when love was dead Quickly, the summer fled And winter discloses That it was not to be And all that's left for me Is a sweet memory Of yesterday's roses
