The Roses Lyrics by Russell Dickerson
I could lay right here, underneath these sheets
All night while you and my right arm both fall asleep
Staring at the flowers, just bought you
It just hit me, girl, what I was born to do
You’ll be the roses,I’ll be the vase
You’ll be the starry night in the spotlight
And girl, I’ll be the frame
You’ll be the California cab
I’ll be the glass you’re pouring into
Girl, I’m fine as long as I’m holding you
Some men were made to make a name
Wind up in some history book, a hall of fame
I used to think, baby, I’d be me
But when I found you I found what I was meant to be
You’ll be the roses,I’ll be the vase
You’ll be the starry night in the spotlight
And girl, I’ll be the frame
You’ll be the California cab
I’ll be the glass you’re pouring into
Girl, I’m fine as long as I’m holding you
like the sky holds the moon
Like the Bible holds the truth
That’s a promise you can hold me to
You’ll be the roses, I’ll be the vase
You’ll be the starry night in the spotlight
And girl, I’ll be the frame
I swear if it’s the only thing I find good to do
I’m just fine long as I’m holding you
I’m just fine long as I’m holding you
