A thorn was left in my heart by a rose Of fragrance and beauty divine A thorn was left in my heart by a rose A rose that I thought was all mine Someone else got the rose, I got the thorn Now her fragrance is just a memory A thorn was life in my heart by a rose Whose love was never meant for me A thorn was left in my heart by a rose Causing tears to fall like the rain A thorn was left in my heart by a rose Whose leaving left sorrow and pain Someone else got the rose, I got the thorn Now her fragrance is just a memory A thorn was life in my heart by a rose Whose love was never meant for me
