Lyrics

Twelve roses coloured red and white
are standing in a window in the dark of night
one for everything that I wished her to know
I waited all evening but she just didn?t show

Was it something I did or was it something I said
?cause I know crazy notions often fill my head
and I know sometimes my words are less than they should be
but I wonder if she knew just what she meant to me

Twelve roses coloured red and white
are standing in a window in the dark of night
one for everything that I wished her to know
I waited all evening but she just didn?t show

Well we spoke of our future yes we spoke of our plans
but somehow never treasured what we held in our hands
and I guess I never whispered enough in her ears
all the special kind of things a woman needs to hear

Twelve roses coloured red and white
are standing in a window in the dark of night
one for everything that I wished her to know
I waited all evening but she just didn?t show

It?s funny how the words all come to me now
if only I could talk to her and tell her somehow
but love just slips away and my heart stands still
like a rose slowly fading on a window sill

Twelve roses coloured red and white
are standing in a window in the dark of night
one for everything that I wished her to know
I waited all evening but she just didn?t show
