Lyrics for Love Is A Rose

Love is a rose But you better not pick it It only grows when it's on the vine A handful of thorns and You know you've missed it You lose your love When you say the word "mine" I wanna see what's never been seen I wanna live that age-old dream Come on, lass, we can go together Let's take the best right now (Take the best right now) I wanna go to an old hoe-down Long ago in a western town Pick me up but my feet are draggin' Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon Love is a rose But you better not pick it It only grows when it's on the vine A handful of thorns and You know you've missed it You lose your love When you say the word "mine" Mine (mine) Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose Love is a rose
