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?
