Dear Rose
Dear Rose

Dear Rose he's doing well
Your best work as far as I can tell
Dear Rose he turned out okay
You raised him right then sent him on his way
Dear Rose time flies so fast
Twas just a babe held within your grasp
Dear Rose

Dear Rose he's got your chin
That famous nose and your charming grin
Dear Rose when he gets down
Picks himself up
He learned to stand his ground
Hey Rose here's the best part
You shared the tenderest and softest heart
Dear Rose.

Bridge:
It seems he has your temperament, your humor, and New England ways
I know your memory always helps him through the stalls and darker days

Dear Rose I had four cats
He didn't blink, ever the diplomat
Dear Rose now that they're gone
Lends me his shoulder that I can cry upon
And Rose he misses them too
Never quite as much as he misses you
Dear Rose

Bridge:
Oh Rose I wish we'd had more time before you had to move along
Guess I'll have to settle talking to you through this song

Hey Rose here's the best part
You shared the tenderest and softest heart
Dear Rose.
