With A Rose In My Hand

With a rose in my hand, wipe

The tear from your eye

We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight

Braving the skies as the world passes by

In eyes as deep as the ocean's floor,

I forget the things that I fear and let

Go of my past

And nothing hurts anymore, though memories will last

With the grace of an Angel you stand

Before me, we shelter from the rain

Under a marquee

Only loved is what we desire to be

With a rose in my hand, wipe

The tear from your eye

We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight

Braving the skies as the world passes by

My fingers are weaved

In yours, romance will blossom and flower as never before

Like a dream you'll seldom see

In this world anymore

If a promise means anything

At all to you,

I promise I'll be there, be there for you

And I know, in the end

You will see I am true

With a rose in my hand, wipe

The tear from your eye

We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight

Braving the skies as the world passes by

I will give and

I'll try, I commit and provide

We will live and we'll die, though our love

Will survive

I wanted to be like a

Thief in the night

Stealing your heart

As we slipped out of sight

But I couldn't be, though I shouldn't be

Anything more than myself tonight

You said it didn't matter, you said it

Was alright 'Cause it was me that you

Wanted from the very first sight

And we wouldn't be, though we couldn't be

Anything more than in love tonight

With a rose in my hand, wipe

The tear from your eye

We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight

Braving the skies as the world passes by

I will give and

I'll try, I commit and provide

We will live and we'll die, though our love

Will survive
