There stands a rose, down in your garden
You left it there, so all alone
It's been neglected, feels unwanted
Since no love, to it is shown
It's beauty now, is fastly fading
Once it was, the brightest red
It's withering fast, It's head is bowing
And no kind words, to it are said
Chorus:
Please don't neglect the rose, In your garden
Show it your love, every day
Then it will bloom for you in all it's beauty
And it will not, fade away
I guess by now, you know my story
Don't neglect, a love that's true
For it may prove to be, the sweetest flower
That will ever, bloom for you
It could be a mother, sister or brother
A husband, wife, or little child
Or it may be, your own true lover
That you've neglected, all the while
Chorus: Please don't neglect the rose...
