She always loved the purple rose
The hardest rose to find
I said they were always just like her
Truly one of a kind
Every year when her birthday came
I gave her a purple rose
But when she died I couldn't find
The flower she always chose
I looked the earth both high and low
But the rose was no where in sight
They said the flower had disappeared
Stricken with some kind of blight
The first time I went to visit her grave
With flowers in my hand
I saw a sight that I'll never forget
Something I don't understand
Her grave was covered with roses
Growing right out of the ground
The only place on the face of the earth
Where purple roses are found
She always loved the purple rose
The hardest rose to find
I said they were always just like her
Truly one of a kind
