The Statler Brothers - It's Too Late For Roses lyrics

He came home from working late again to a table set with candles for two

And by a dying flame he hung his head in shame he forgot that she needs him too

He finds a note she left for him it said she can't do this anymore

You've done it again when will it end and who are you really working for

Don't wait till it's too late it's too late for roses

You can't say you're sorry once the flower shop closes

It's too late to miss her once another proposes

When you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses

[ steel ]

She woke up to the smell of roses he surprised her with breakfast in bed

He said he was wrong the night was too long those three little words went unsaid

So don't take tomorrow for granted cause today just might be your last chance

Now's the time to start start thinking with your heart

And hold her like it's your last dance

Don't wait till it's too late...

Once you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses
