George Jones - Our Bed Of Roses Lyrics






The morning we moved in this house you said
Let's make a bed of roses
So hand in hand we found that special place
And I broke the ground
I wiped that delta dirt from your face
As you knelt there to sow them
Oh, I'd give anything a mortal man could give
If you could see them now

Through the kitchen window pane,
I can see the roses
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming
Like they did when you were here
Someone's always left behind
When the door of this life closes
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses

Some days I sit for hours at the time,
Just staring at those roses
They seem so young and full of life,
But soon they'll face the winter chill
I don't know how long I can survive,
But one thing that I know is
Come spring time the roses will return,
But you never will

Through the kitchen window pane,
Lord, I can see the roses
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming
Like they did when you were here
Someone's always left behind
When the door of this life closes
So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses

So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses...

  5. b.... ....

    Someone said "no man is all good & no man is all bad & to all of us this is true" , for me no one personifies this more than Jones , he caused himself & so many others so much Pain & misery ..............BUT also through all that . brought so many others hope , someone to identify with & a reason not to care if your called a loser , cos Jones was always called a loser ...............if george is a loser ? ...........he made something out of it & used it to give something to others , so no matter how bad a person maybe ..............they still are human & have something good to offer , Just like Old george did


    See George met a good woman (Nancy) , oh no she didnt save him , she was much smarter than all that.............she made him save himself & thats all any of us can do, hey George was old when it finally came to him ............dont lose hope ............he didn't

  6. S.... J....

    My beautiful Maggie went far away into The Silent Land on this day, 27 March 2006. Just love the emotion George put into this song - takes some of the pain away, but not the longing for her. Put yellow roses on her grave, but I can't wait to be with her again, knowing she is dancing with the gentle winds in Heaven. Thank you, David, for your kind words - hope to meet George & Nancy too - can I take my Pedal Steel with me ???

    k.... m....

    +kenny maclean Yes, a 76 year old man can still cry. Crying for the love of my life who is dying of terminal cancer. I brought her roses every day. And will until the day she dies - which will just be days. Then, I will lay them on her grave.

    k.... m....

    my condlences

    k.... m....

    sorry for your hurting friend

  53. d.... ....

    I will forgive you 7 idiots who don't like this song!!

  54. D.... W....

    Kenny, my heart goes out to you.  At least you can take comfort that you had some time with the love of your life.  Also, the greatest voice to ever sing country music expressed your heartache in this amazing song.  May God bless you and Maggie as well as George and Nancy.  George once said if you live long enough to be truly happy then it is all worth it.  I hope to find that happiness one day.

    D.... W....

    ilove George

  55. k.... m....

    very apt words to my situation - lost my beloved Maggie in 2006, but the pain and hurt still remain. Love you until the day after forever. The roses still bloom in our garden my
    darling, they will return each spring, but you will not. Yours forever, Kenny xxx.

  56. a.... 8....

  57. K.... M....

    me as well

    K.... M....

    K MC I love it

  58. J.... ....

    Thank you George Glen Jones for the years of countless hours of joy you brought to my heart. As Garth Brooks said, "Simply the greatest voice to ever sing country music". Most people say "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the greatest country song ever recorded, but I contend that because of George's voice at 68 and this song written and produced by Keith Stegall, this may very well be the best country song ever recorded. What makes this even more astounding is that these "working vocals".

  59. G.... G....

    A true legend.

  60. t.... v....

    ♥♥♥♥ I love this song soo much and loved George Jones . I'm 47 and thanks to my daddy i grew up listening to this music! May you rest in peace George Jones now your In heaven...sing w the angels. ♥♥♥

  61. R.... H....

    I love you George, Your my daddy's favorite country singer..! Fly high your loved. <3 Ernest Hoffman

  62. c.... ....

    This song is even sadder than "He Stopped Loving her Today." Gotta love a sad Country song by the best singer to ever sing one!

  63. J.... H....

    A 57 year old man shouldn't cry listening to a song.
    george has always been able to do this to me. I remember setting in a studio at a local radio station while my dad and his band did his music. God Bless you George and tyhank you for the memories

  64. C.... B....

    George Jones was a true legend, and nobody will ever fill his shoes.

  65. B.... J....

    im in shock he was my man this sucks

  66. B.... W....

    R.I.P My friend, it's official he stopped loving her today :(

  67. J.... L....

    if it don't bring one tear then it will bring a shower i also am a Nam Vet and so
    right about what we brought back not knowing
    all my prayers go out to all sevice men and women and all vets

  68. M.... R....

    I am a Vietnam Vet. I was over twice in the early & mid 60's. As a result of exposures to Agent Orange, Asbestos, leads & other jungle related fungus & no telling what all, I brought those exposures home to my whole family. Those exposures, at the most intimate time of our marriage & having kids, caused the deseases that eventually took her. I and my ywo sons now suffer from the same. War & it's results are hell & our Govmnt, don't seem to care. Really a shame but all Vets suffer the same.Thanks

  69. M.... R....

    We planted a bed roses 14 years ago. She passed last September after 51 years, This is now my life.

    M.... R....

I close my eyes and still see the love of my life watering some flowers on a beautiful sunny day, smiling and at peace, and very happy, not long before his sudden death. For a person to be able to sing a song so well, it sends you to such a place is truly gifted..which is George Jones. Thanks!
