1ST VERSE:

Many nights I'd sit right by the window waiting for.

The man that I had married to walk in through the door.

Many nights I'd lay in bed and wonder where he was

I never ever doubted him. I loved him so because...

CHORUS

Your papa sent me roses in the middle of the day.

and your papa sent me roses so I wouldn't go away.

Yes your papa sent me roses so I wouldn't be alone

Dear your papa sent me roses so I wouldn't leave our home.

2ND VERSE

I never thought a wife could be as lonely as could be

Many times I asked myself, "What was wrong with me?"

I never questioned where he was, or where he had to go.

Now I realize it was cause I didn't want to know, and...

CHORUS

Your papa sent me roses in the middle of the day.

and your papa sent me roses so I wouldn't go away.

Yes your papa sent me roses so I wouldn't be alone

Your papa sent me roses so I wouldn't leave our home.

BRIDGE

Now I'm drowning in those roses and I cry so many tears.

Why did I settle for those roses for so many lonely years?
