Pat Benatar - Papa´s Roses lyrics

Album: Innamorata (1997)

I picked a rose this morning
and it was so fresh it looked like it was crying
I thought how sad to be so beautiful
only to wither & die

Like papa´s roses, soft & pale
like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here´s hurt
and papa´s roses

Papa wasn´t really a hardened man
he could be tender at times
I remember it was like a holiday
when he was gentle & kind
He gave those flowers his heart & soul
I wish he would saved some for me
It´d have been such a simple thing
for me to be

Like papa´s roses, soft & pale
like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here´s hurt
ooh ooh ooh....

Voices that whisper soft & low
forever buried inside
Haunted by images dark & cold
forever burned in your mind
But I dreamed I could fly away
like an angel I would fly
to a place where I could forget
forget that I was like

Like papa´s roses, soft & pale
like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here´s hurt
and papa´s roses
Like papa´s roses, soft & pale
like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here´s hurt
and papa´s roses
mmmm...papa´s roses...
papa´s roses
