It's Too Late For Roses Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

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 

[ steel ] 

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... 

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