Rose

I count my blessings for that very first date

A crowded room and a sudden twist of fate

We were at Mike's, throwing people out the door

You stood your ground, and I loved you more

I saw the fire in your strong-minded soul

A beautiful force taking total control

I knew right then as the strangers walked away

I found my saving grace that day

Oh, Rose, with your big-hearted grace

My loyal shelter in a crowded space

Baby, I know I don't show it all the time

But I love you with all of this heart of mine

With every breath, let the heavens know

I am devoted to my strong-minded Rose

I hear a choir when you take the mic

Singing Madonna late into the night

You close your eyes, unafraid and free

A melody of joy washing over me

Every single day is a treasure I keep

A sacred promise, a river so deep

You walk in the room and the shadows part

You are the rhythm that beats in my heart

Oh, Rose, with your big-hearted grace

My loyal shelter in a crowded space

Baby, I know I don't show it all the time

But I love you with all of this heart of mine

With every breath, let the heavens know

I am devoted to my strong-minded Rose

Sometimes the words get caught in my chest

But I swear to you, baby, I know I am blessed

Your loyalty stands like a church on a hill

Through the noise and the silence, you're standing there still

You anchor my spirit, you light up the dark

You left an eternal and beautiful mark

Oh, Rose, with your big-hearted grace

My loyal shelter in a crowded space

Baby, I know I don't show it all the time

But I love you with all of this heart of mine

With every breath, let the heavens know

I am devoted, I love you, my Rose

Yes, with all of my heart, I want you to know

I am forever in love with my Rose
