An Occasional Rose

It's so hard to fight a memory Only time can be a healer of the past And the thorns of love are many When they're clingin' to a love that didn't last Yesterday is over and his memory Will fade away with time So I'll accept a rose and just be patient Till all your love is mine I can take the thorns if there's Just an occasional rose I can bear the pain for a while Even though my heart knows You'll be thinkin' of him when We're makin' love, it always shows I can take the thorns if there's Just an occasional rose
