I suppose a
single rose is pretty as it gets
And when the lights go down at night,
I love the quietness
I love shy glances, slow romances,
and hand s that hide a kiss
It lets you and me go back in time
and find the things we miss
When hands were gentle
and words were kind
And love could wait a long, long time
And private matters held their hush
And grooms were gallant
an d brides would plush
Does it seem a silly dream,
played back in black and white?
With pearls and gloves
and hymns of love,
and lines of wrong and right?
Well, let's hush the cynic
for just a minute
And let the dreamers dare
To dream of love that never fails
Oh, won't you take me there?
And hands were gentle
And words were kind
And love could wait a long, long time
And bribing modest held their heart
And grooms were gallant
an d brides with blush
Oh -o h -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
-oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Shut the shutters, power down.
Let the world spin back around.
To deep respect and no regrets.
The dignity of you and me
Your hand s were gentle
and words were kind
And love could wait a long, time
And private matters held
their edge
And wounds were banded, oh
Oh, and write the blush
Oh
