If Ever a Rose

If ever a rose
Would grow in my garden
If ever a rose
Would bloom in the spring
It would not be as sweet
As my lover's kisses
And it would not fulfil me as much
As the love that she brings

For my love is the one
Who captures the essence
Of all that it means
To live happy and free
And I would lay down
At the walls of her garden
And wait for a lifetime until
Her sun shines on me

If ever a rose
Would grow in my garden
If ever a rose
Would bloom in the spring
It would not be as sweet
As my lover's kisses
And it would not fulfil me as much
As the love that she brings

If there's ever a time
That my devotion is waning
If there's ever a time
I don't tend to my love
I just think on my rose
And I gaze on her beauty
And I nourish her petals
With soft falling rain from above

So if ever a rose
Would grow in my garden
If ever a rose
Would bloom in the spring
It would not be as sweet
As my lover's kisses
And it would not fulfil me as much
As the love that she brings
