a thousand roses to the woman
the woman who raised me up
to her who modelled me to a gentleman
to her who dressed my wounds
after the football games
a thousand roses to you
a million toasts to her for being there
when I cried for help
well she was more than I deserved
her smile was the world
I hear wood cracking up in the chimney
we are reading a book
the wizard of oz
hot chocolate and cookies
I look into her eyes
and to her
I give the thousand roses
