- Verse:
The roses each one, Met with the sun.
Sweetheart, When I met you.
The sunshine had fled, The roses were dead,
Sweetheart, when I lost you.
-
- Chorus:
I lost the sunshine and roses,
I lost the heavens of blue,
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew.
I lost the angel who gave me,
- Summer the whole winter
through.
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness,
When I lost you.
