George Morgan One Dozen Roses (And Our Love) lyrics

One dozen roses and our love
A mom and dad's prayer to you above
Happy birthday, little dove
One dozen roses and our love

Well, today is your birthday, sweetheart
And you would have been sweet sixteen
Sure you were our only daughter
You were your mom and your daddy's little queen

See, we were gonna give you up
Party and everything
But the Lord called you away
To sleep in His beautiful garden
So we brought you this pretty bouquet

Yeah, your mom is here with me
You know with the roses in her hand

You know somethin' else
She has your little white Bible
To kinda help us understand

Oh, we're gonna miss you
So much precious daughter
As we both kneel here to pray
But we're gonna leave you these pretty roses
On this your special day

One dozen roses and our love
A mom and dad's prayer to you above
Happy birthday little dove
One dozen roses and our love
