Teardrops on a rose,
as I stand here all alone.
The fragrance is so sweet
but not for me to own.

You are so far away,
my tears are falling free.
Teardrops on a rose,
please send your love to me.

I see this rose of red,
like drops of blood that fall.
The rose of pink is sweet
like tear drops I recall.

The rose of white, so pure,
yet fragile in its innocence.
Still it opens wide,
so queenly in its elegance.

Teardrops on a rose,
I look to stars above.
Teardrops on a rose,
I long for you, my love.
