Reba McEntire - Roses




[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1:]
                                          F
A soft summer evening, another time, another place
                   C                         G
He brought her red roses on their very first date
        C                   C7          F
She got carried away by the things that he said
            C                        G        C
Time would erase them, but she would never forget

[CHORUS:]
          Bb  Am    Gm F
And the roses heard it all

The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
                              C
The roses in the paper on the wall
                   Bb  F     Bb          C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk


[INTERLUDE:] C    Bb  F  Bb  C


[VERSE 2:]
                                                F
Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place
                C                         G
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face
         C                      C7         F
While he talks in his sleep, confessing his love
               C              G           C
He calls out a name that she's never heard of


[CHORUS:]
          Bb  Am    Gm F
And the roses heard it all

The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
                              C
The roses in the paper on the wall
                   Bb  F     Bb          C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk


[BRIDGE:]
Bb
She never told him
    F                    C       C-Cadd9-C-
She never let him see her cry
Dm
Only the roses know
F                  G
What she kept down inside


[VERSE 3:]
                                                   F
The years took their toll and the angels took her away
                       C                       G
Now there's family and friends at a cold winter's grave
   C                                     C7                 F
He kneels down and whispers, "You're the only love that I've known"
             C         G          C
As he lays a rose on a cold marble stone


[CHORUS:]
          Bb  Am    Gm F
But the roses heard it all

The rose from her garden, the rose in her bible
                              C
The roses in the paper on the wall
                   Bb  F     Bb          C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk
                    Bb  F   Bb          C
