Summer roses are the dreams I will remember
When the snow is painting the world a soft winter white
Summer roses warm my heart in cold December
As I lay again with the love of one summer love
Why did you go
Why did you go
I must go home, the world is whipping
Summer is over, the rose is sleeping
Summer roses will return when the spring is ending
But the rose needs the tears of rain before it can bloom
And I know in my aching heart I'm still pretending
You came back like the summer rose to my lonely room
You came back like the summer rose to my lonely room
