You tried to wake me
In the morning;
This was our moment
Of goodbye.
You asked me once:
How long I'd love you.
I told you:
Till the day I die,
And now, at last,
My life is over.
You cannot go
Where I have gone.
I won't be there
To share tomorrow.
I love you so,
But life goes on.
Dry your eyes,
Rosemary blue;
Take a look around.
There's a world outside
That waits for you.
Live your life,
Rosemary blue;
Put your lonely tears away.
Wait and see; there'll come a day
I'll be with you.
We used to walk
The world together
And found our love
Along the way,
But now you must
Go on without me;
We cannot live in yesterday.
Don't bring your flowers
To the church yard;
Only the past
Is waiting there.
You should be out
Somewhere, forgetting;
Wearing those flowers
In your hair.
Dry your eyes,
Rosemary blue;
Take a look around.
There's a world outside
That waits for you.
Live your life,
Rosemary blue;
Put your lonely tears away.
Wait and see; there'll come a day
I'll be with you.
Rosemary blue.
Rosemary blue.
