Lyrics:

A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Of fragrance and beauty divine
A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
A rose that I thought was all mine

Someone else got the rose, I got the thorn
Now her fragrance is just a memory
A thorn was life in my heart by a rose
Whose love was never meant for me

A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Causing tears to fall like the rain
A thorn was left in my heart by a rose
Whose leaving left sorrow and pain

Someone else got the rose, I got the thorn
Now her fragrance is just a memory
A thorn was life in my heart by a rose
Whose love was never meant for me
