Plant a Rose Instead

(D) My last drink was (G) twenty-years (D) ago

I take it one day at a time, as they have (A) said.

But (D) today, it was really touch and (G) go

(D) So I planted a (A) rose, (D) instead.

(D) Creeping age and (G) ailments, are the (D) cause

Maybe one drink, wouldnt be so (A) bad..

(D) But your pretty smile, (G) made me pause

(D) And I planted a (A) rose(D) instead

(D) Many times, I would (G) given (D) in

Your strong faith kept me straight (A) ahead

And (D) turned my losing thoughts, to those (G) to win

And (D) I planted another (A) rose, (D) instead

(D) Thank God, you have been (G) here for (D) me

Enduring may actionsyou had to (A) dread

Your patient love opened my eyes (G) and told me

To (D) plant another (A) rose, (D) instead.

Now you have (G) a rose garden, (D) instead.
