You See The Rose (click to download mp3)

You have a cold and
The twins have the flu
The washing machine’s overflowin’
The rent’s overdue
But even when problems mess up your day
You always greet me with a smile on your face

(Chorus)
There are those who see rain, gloom and despair
Instead of the beauty that’s found everywhere
And they choose to live in a world where the wind always blows
While they see the thorns
You see the rose
You see the rose

Your friends tell their troubles
To you when they call
They worry ‘bout money and romance
Yeah, you’ve heard it all
Somehow you manage to calm all their fears
The sunshine breaks through and the clouds disappear

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
You gave me a different perspective on life
Than the one that I always knew
Now everything seems so much brighter
From your point of view

(Repeat Chorus)
