Hank Williams - Teardrop on a Rose lyrics

While strolling thru a lovely garden As day was drawing to a close... My eyes beheld a tragic story I saw a teardrop on a rose It should have been a tear of gladness But deep inside the sorrow shows A trusting heart had just been broken I saw a teardrop on a rose A sobbing tear that follows parting Holds all the pain that sorrow knows A false goodbye a life is shattered There lies a story on a rose The tear will dry the rose will wither I loved, I lost, my story ended With just a teardrop on a rose
