A Single Crimson Rose Lyrics - Amie Comeaux

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 

A little boy not much more than a baby 

Found a rose and picked it like a child would do
