Lyrics

Roses From LeRoy’s
Words and Melody Danielle Howle
Music Mark Bryan

I got your roses from Leroy’s
The shop delivers to your door
I got your roses with a card
That I can’t read or feed the yard

Bad news comes so beautiful

I got your number by the phone
For emergencies and so on
I got a phonebook of this town
So I can catch you running round

Bad news comes so beautiful

Oh you’re still collecting “wows”
From those tacky bar room prowls
They love your money- I’m at home
Ain’t it terrible to know

Bad news comes so beautiful

I got your roses getting old
The water’s grey and full of mold
I got your roses every face
Just playing dead and looking great

Old news shadows beautiful

I got your number from now on
No more worries when you’re gone
There’s a garden in my soul
That will always keep me whole

Life is just so beautiful

No our children won’t be scarred
They know exactly who they are
How many families will you make
Just send roses walk away
One day you’ll wake up all alone
Ain’t it terrible to know

Bad news comes so beautiful
So, so so, so- so so so so –I so so so so so.
