lyrics

Mother rose, watching over me from the sky
Even when I would ask why
Reading stories to me in bed

Mother rose, holding my hand in the park
Where we stayed till the very dark
And she kissed my head

Mother rose as the spirits guide you tonight
Into the everlasting light
Remember you were the spark, saving me from the dark
And made me grow
Mother rose..

Mother rose, sending letters through the mail
On the lake in a boat we sailed
As the red sun rose up

Mother rose, painting in her artist book
Thinking of the traits I took
From her loving cup

Mother rose, as the spirits guide you tonight
Into the everlasting light
Remember you were the spark, saving us from the dark
And so the story goes..
Mother rose

Mother rose, I can remember all those snowy nights
Our family had in the alps so bright
We eat dinner under chandeliers

Mother rose, you can see bobby now as you go
And all the love you both have shown
Shows you’re both still here

Mother rose, dancing with the angels in the clouds
Leaving the ones you left so proud
That you were in their lives and as they cried
Watching your soul glow
My Grandmother Rose...
