Statler Brothers - Too Late for Roses Lyrics

(Will Reid - Longdon Reid)

He came home from working late again
To a table set with candles for two
And by a dying flame he hung his head in shame
He forgot that she needs him too.

He finds a note she left for him
It said, she can't do this anymore
You've done it again when will it end
And who are you really working for.

Don't wait till it's too late, it's too late for roses
You can't say you're sorry once the flower shop closes
It's too late to miss her once another proposes
When you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses.

--- Instrumental ---

She woke up to the smell of roses
He surprised her with breakfast in bed
He said he was wrong, the night was too long
Those three little words went unsaid.

So don't take tomorrow for granted
'Cause today just might be your last chance
Now's the time to start, start thinking with your heart
And hold her like it's your last dance.

Don't wait till it's too late, it's too late for roses
You can't say you're sorry once the flower shop closes
It's too late to miss her once another proposes
When you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses.

Once you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses...
