Rose Is For Today Lyrics - She's Just An Old Love Turned Memory - Charley Pride

I surprised her at work today 

And brought her a red rose 

And for an hour we slipped away 

And had lunch just for two 

"Well, no, I didn't get the job today 

So that new dress will have to wait" 

And though she planned to wear it Sunday 

She just smiled and said, "Okay" 

She knows the rose is for today 

But my love is for always And a rose is all I can give 

Till better times come our way 

She knows I'll still be needing her Long after all the petals fade 

The rose is for today 

But my love is for always 

When we're home and the day is done 

She hugs my neck 'cause she knows 

I'm down Talking low and lettin' feelings show 

She says my love is all that counts 

But I want a mansion to shelter her 

And, babe, we'll have it someday 

And for every petal on the red rose I promise you'll have a bouquet 

She knows the rose is for today 

But my love is for always And a rose is all I can give 

Till better times come our way She knows 

I'll still be needing her Long after all the petals fade 

The rose is for today But my love is for always
