Nana Mouskouri - Love Is a Rose lyrics

CHORUS:

Love is a rose

But you better not pick it

It only grows when it's on the vine

A handful of thorns,

And you'll know you've missed it

You lose your love when you say the word "mine"

I want to see what's never been seen

I want to live an age-old dream

Come along, boys, we can go together

Let's take the best right now

Take the best right now

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

(Take the best right now)

I want to go to an old hotel

Long ago in a western town

Pick me up 'cause my feet are draggin'

Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon

CHORUS (2x)

Mine

Love is a rose (mine)

Love is a rose (mine)

Love is a rose (mine)

Love is a rose

CHORUS (2x)

Love is a rose

Love is a rose

(repeat and fade out)
