I've sat in the sunshine in summers of sadness And lived through the winter when lonely was here And I've gone through the motions of feeling for fear That I never would find you my dear
And I'm thankful for whoever made it all possible For me to be with you while I live And spare you the grief if I passed on before you And I don't think I'd live if you died before me
And I hope that the smell of these roses will follow you On into times when the roses are gone I love you Dawn I love you Dawn
