I seen the way her head turns
When a big, shiny car passes by
And I can't help but notice
How the clothes in the store windows
Catch her eye

And I don't quite understand
What it is that's kept her here this long
When all in life that I can give her
Are roses and love songs

A small time country singer
Can't afford satin gowns and diamond rings
But she always smiles and says
She gets along quite well without those things

And she says that she's content
Just to stay here with me right or wrong
Knowing all in life that I can give her
Are roses and love songs

Roses and love songs
And a dream she can't see
But for her it's enough
'Cause she knows just how much it means to me

Sometime she'll cry
But she'll never complain
And all the clouds in our sky
She's used to the rain

Still she says the nicest moments
She's ever known
Are the moments we share when I bring her
Roses and love songs

Roses and love songs
