THE 12TH ROSE - Nashville Songwriting Competition Honorable Mention Winner.

​

***This lyric has a twist ending which I'm sure all women would love to hear.

​I also have an audio version with a lyric specifically written for Mom's (the lyric is almost the same).

 

SHE OPENED THE BOX FILLED WITH RED ROSES

FOUND A CARD ATTACHED THAT READ

TWELVE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS, FOR A WOMAN THAT TOWERS

WAY ABOVE THE REST

SHE KISSED ME AND SAID THANK YOU

BUT FOR WHAT OCCASION ARE THESE FLOWERS FOR

I SAID IT'S MY WAY OF SAYING, YOU'RE THE ONE I TRULY ADORE

THERE IS NO ONE ELSE I ADMIRE MORE​

​

IT'S FOR NEVER GIVING UP ON ME EVEN WHEN I LET YOU DOWN

AND FOR HELPING ME BECOME THE MAN I'M GLAD TO BE AROUND

IT'S FOR SETTING ALL YOUR DREAMS ASIDE JUST TO MAKE MINE COME TRUE

AND FOR GIVING MY LIFE PURPOSE, I OWE EVERYTHING TO YOU

​

SHE FOUND A VASE AND PLACED THE FLOWERS IN

ARRANGED THEM ALL ONE BY ONE

WHEN SHE CAME TO NOTICE, ONLY ELEVEN ROSES

AND WONDERED HOW COME

SHE TURNED TO ME, SMILED AND SAID 

I ONLY SEE ELEVEN ROSES HERE

I SAID "BABY YOU MISSED ONE, GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR

THE 12TH ROSE WILL APPEAR"
