A Little Boy Not Much More Than A Baby
Found A Rose And Picked It Like A Child Would Do
Proudly He Went Running To His Mommy
And With A Grin He Said, "Look What Me Find For You"

A Teenage Boy Packed Groceries At The Market
A Rebel Kid Sometimes A Little Wild
But Every Year On Mother's Day And Birthdays
He'd Bring Her A Rose Just Like That Little Child

A Single Crimson Rose
In Time Became A Symbol Of
Endless Love Shared Between
A Mother And Her Son
A Single Crimson Rose
Was A Special Way To Say
I'll Always Love You Come What May
A Single Crimson Rose

At Eighteen, He Enlisted In The Army
To Fight A War He Felt Needed To Be Won
Sometimes He'd Write On Mother's Days And Birthdays
He Never Failed To Send A Rose To Mom

That Soldier Now Is Coming Home A Hero
With His Medals To The Mother That He Loves
With Tear-filled Eyes, She Tells Him How She's Missed Him
And On His Casket Lays A Single Crimson Rose

A Single Crimson Rose
In Time Became A Symbol Of
Endless Love Shared Between
A Mother And Her Son
A Single Crimson Rose
Was A Special Way To Say
I'll Always Love You Come What May
A Single Crimson Rose

A Single Crimson Rose
Was A Special Way To Say
I'll Always Love You Come What May
A Single Crimson Rose
