1. Have you ever seen or touched a Blue Rose?
There's very few of us that ever do
I once thought I would find a Blue Rose
Before I’d ever find someone like you
But here you are my beautiful Blue Rose
So rare, so delicate, and mine to touch
And I will always call you my Blue Rose
A treasure I will always love so much
2. I'll plant a garden of love for you Blue Rose
My arms will be a shelter from the snows
You'll never feel a troubled wind that blows
With my life I’ll guard your bloom Blue Rose
Now there you stand my
Beautiful Blue Rose
In the garden we built just for us
With beauty unsurpassed by any Rose
And color-no other Rose can touch
I'd like to believe god saw you
Blue Rose
And thought how pretty you'd
Look in his bouquet
I'd like to believe he just
Borrowed you Blue Rose
And maybe he'd return you someday
Cause I’m sure he's seen my blue tears Blue Rose
I shed on your grave, everyday
I know you can hear me Blue Rose
And understand the things I try to say
4. The sun was just coming up Blue Rose
And as I walked up the hill to where you lay
my eyes saw the most beautiful Blue Rose
Yes, god has returned you today
