Wine And Roses

C C/B I see the young ones slowly strolling Am G On their Friday promenade Am The sun is low their faces glowing C G C Hopeful hearts out on display C C/B In their dreams are wine and roses Am G Quiet picnics in the park Am Holding hands and rubbing noses C G C Softly kissing in the dark C C/B I was much the same in my day Am G All impatient and unsure Am C/B But to love I'd soon surrender C G C Pledge my soul so young and pure C C/B For he gave me wine and roses Am G Quiet picnics in the park Am C/B Held my hand and we rubbed noses C G C Softly kissing in the dark C C/B I'd never trade our life together Am G Though we had our rocky times Am C/B My heart it rose and fell so often C G C Like the constant shifting tide C C/B It wasn't all just wine and roses Am G Quiet picnics in the park Am Holding hands and rubbing noses C G C Softly kissing in the dark C C/B I am old and all alone now Am G My children grown and far away Am C/B They used to ask their Ma what love is C G C I never knew just how to say C C/B That love is more than wine and roses Am G Quiet picnics in the park Am Holding hands and rubbing noses C G C Softly kissing in the dark
