Rose

Every time I came to visit, walking to your door

I knew the kind of comfort I was heading for

The second that I entered, I felt it right away

A heavy blanket of your love that made me want to stay

The smell of your cooking drifting through the air

Was the fragrance of your spirit, floating everywhere

You poured your gentle soul into everything you made

Leaving love inside my heart that's never gonna fade

Happy heavenly birthday, Mother

In this whole world, there will never be another

I hope you know how much you're loved and missed today

So much more than any human voice could ever say

A thousand words could never bring you back across the years

And Lord knows I have tried with a million tears

Oh, Rose, I'm sending my love your way

Happy heavenly birthday

I can still hear the sweet sound of your laughter

It's the melody my memory is always chasing after

You had a beautiful smile that brightened up the room

A radiant light that chased away the gloom

You gave so much to others, a heart so wide and free

You showed us all what kindness was supposed to be

You took four walls and a roof from up above

And made a sanctuary, a house filled with your love

Happy heavenly birthday, Mother

In this whole world, there will never be another

I hope you know how much you're loved and missed today

So much more than any human voice could ever say

A thousand words could never bring you back across the years

And Lord knows I have tried with a million tears

Oh, Rose, I'm sending my love your way

Happy heavenly birthday

I cry because I love you, deep down in my soul

Missing you is something that I just cannot control

Thousands of words and a million tears fall like the rain

But they can't wash away this beautiful pain

I miss you, Mother, more than I can speak

But I feel your love around me when I'm feeling weak

Happy heavenly birthday, Mother

In this whole world, there will never be another

I hope you know how much you're loved and missed today

So much more than any human voice could ever say

A thousand words could never bring you back across the years

And Lord knows I have tried with a million tears

Oh, Rose, I miss you more than words can say

Happy heavenly birthday
