VERSE 1 No one ever bought her flowers No one ever gave her gifts No one stopped to notice All the love they always missed ------- No one ever sat beside her Or took her hand in theirs No one ever knew her heart Or showed her that they cared REFRAIN Life is too precious to waste Give the love you have before its too late CHORUS I'll bring you one red rose And a card penned in my hand So you'll always know I see you And I'll always understand VERSE 2 She never needed diamonds Or promises and rings She'd have been happy sitting And enjoying simple things So much time was wasted On lies and petty blame While years stole precious moments That won't come back again VERSE 3 She doesn't want your pity But her heart still aches inside For all the stolen moments Lost to stubbornness and pride REFRAIN Life is too precious to waste Give the love you have before its too late CHORUS I'll bring you one red rose And a card penned in my hand So you'll always know I see you And I'll always understand BRIDGE Don't wait until she's gone To think of what you lost Take her hand in yours now Before you count the cost FINAL CHORUS I'll bring you one red rose And a card penned in my hand So you'll always know I see you And I'll always understand OUTRO I'll bring you one red rose While you're still here to see No words could ever tell you How much you mean to me Mmm Ooo
