A Rose Is A Rose Lyrics

If a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
And a girl is a girl is a girl
How can it be, that the one next to me
Is the only rose in the world
And we know as we grow, that the rose will unfold
As the sea turns the sand into pearls
How can it be, that when you're next to me
You're the only girl in the world
How long has it been?
No need to pretend no one knows
Long lost friends
Two hearts on the mend and it shows
Look at the lessons we've learned
How many bridges have burned
All of the faces, all of the names
So many places, so many games
If a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
And a girl is a girl is a girl
How can it be, that the one next to me
Is the only rose in the world
And we know as we grow, that the rose will unfold
As the sea turns the sand into pearls
How can it be, that when you're next to me
You're the only girl in the world
When I look at your face
I still see a trace of the past
We don't have to worry
We're not going to hurry so fast
We've both been growing for years
With more than our share of tears
We can be lovers, we can be friends
The rose uncovers the mighty oak bends
How does it go?
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose (repeat)
