[1st verse:]

The roses each one

Met with the sun

Sweetheart when I met you

The sunshine had fled

The roses were dead

Sweetheart when I lost you



[chorus:]

I lost the sunshine and roses

I lost the heavens of blue

I lost the beautiful rainbow

I lost the morning dew

I lost the angel who gave me

Summer, the whole winter through

I lost the gladness that turned into sadness

When I lost you



[2nd verse:]

The birds ceased their song

Right turned to wrong

Sweetheart when I lost you

A day turned to years

The world seemed in tears

Sweetheart when I lost you
