While strolling through a lovely garden As day was drawing to a close My eyes beheld a tragic story I saw a teardrop on the rose It should have been a tear of gladness But deep inside the sorrow shows A trusting heart had just been broken I saw a teardrop on the rose A sobbing tear that follows parting Holds all the pain that sorrow knows A book to buy a life is shattered There lies the story on the rose The tear will dry the rose will wither When spring and winter comes and goes I loved, I lost, my story ended With just a teardrop on the rose
