Bobby Bare - Roselee lyrics

As I lay here all alone I feel the darkness coming on

It's too late to try to catch the sinking sun

But the seasons of my mind they're walking back through summer time

When the sun was bright and our new love was blind

Roselee won't you come and walk through summertime with me

At your mother's house tonight I kissed the sunshine of my life

As I tucked him in his little baby bed

When I turned to walk away my thoughts ran back to yesterday

When I held you close to me and softly said

Roselee I can see in him a part of you and me

At the market place today I overheard somebody say

In three short weeks you'd marry my best friend

But the seasons of your mind will walk again through summertime

When you feel me in the touch of my son's hand

Roselee you'll be walking with the living end of me

[ guitar ]

With my hand clutched to my head they'll find me in this lonely bed

Where you told me you were through with loving me

Maybe then your seasons mind will walk again through summertime

When our sun is shining six feet over me

Roselee yes your leaving took the living out of me
