Roses In The Rain

Peter Mayer/Roger Guth/Jim Mayer

Guess I’ll go and talk again
To my one and only friend
That comforts me
Lives on second avenue
Right above a river view
With a sight to see

Came to town ’bout a year ago
In a flutter of emotion
Strangled devotion

Chorus
You give me roses in the rain
You give me roses in the rain
Makes me believe the sun will shine again

I walked into the living room
He’s playing something green and blue
From Avalon
He handed me the coffee black
And then he said “now take me back
To what went wrong”

I said damn these tears
Damn this old fashion emotion
If you’ve got a notion

Chorus
You give me roses in the rain
You give me roses in the rain
Makes me believe the sun will shine again

Promises are broken
Angry words are spoken
They’re just a token of your life
Promises are broken
Angry words are spoken
Give me a token of your love

Chorus
You give me roses in the rain
You give me roses in the rain
You give me roses in the rain
Makes me believe the sun will shine again

You give me roses in the rain
Makes me believe the sun will shine again

You give me roses in the rain
You give me roses in the rain
Roses in the rain…
