Goodbye My Red Rose lyrics

I didn't love you till you'd gone

You told me not to give my heart away

You were right and I was wrong

I should have known, I couldn't make you stay

I bless the day you were born

I curse the day you saw into me

You said my eyes were so forlorn

Now when I'm alone, I let my tears run free

They flow so easy, easily

So goodbye, my red rose

Your memory won't fade away

When the curtain falls

We know you won't be back for more

I wonder where you hang your clothes

But on this, I never dwell too long

I asked around but no one knows

I should have known, that would be your way

Not to, not to say

So goodbye, my red rose

In the spring your scent will grow

There's no more curtain calls

And the man has put all the chairs away

So goodbye, my red rose

There's no more, no more curtain calls
