Lyrics

Verse 1
While starin’ out the window on a cold October Morn
Little Miss Daisy Mae, just 5 big years of age
Couldn’t help but wonder why the last red summer rose
Outside bright just yesterday, overnight had changed
Grandma why’s it cryin’, your pretty rose looks so sad
Tears are falling all around it, sopping like a dish-pan rag
Grandma then chimed in, laughin’ through her lovin’ grin
There’s no need to cry my child, it’s the beauty when the end begins
Chorus
She said It’s dyin’ to live, Honey life is such a precious gift
My rose looks like it died today for the petals lyin’ on the stone
Sure as the wind, God will make it new again
Any rose made any other way, can never be born again
Verse 2
Where on Earth is Grandma came Daisy on a rainy day
She didn’t have a single clue why everybody there had shown
She’s gone back home to Grandpa, you will understand someday
Then she watched her Momma kneel down, and lay a rose upon a stone
Struck with grief and fear, Momma broke down in tears
Daisy thought it for the flower on the stone that spelled out ROSE
Proudly she chimed in, in Grandma’s familiar grin
There’s no need to cry Momma, it’s the beauty when the end begins
Chorus
She said it’s dyin to live, Momma, life is such a precious gift
Your rose looks like it died today for the petals lyin’ on the stone
Sure as the wind, God will make it new again
Any rose made any other way, could never be born again
Bridge
Momma slowed her tears, the sky soon began to clear
God spoke soft to her broken heart, somewhere in a sunny ray
He said, Honey I’m always near, she’s wise way beyond her years
For out of mouths of babes, come the things I wanna say
Chorus
He said it’s dying to live, Child, life is my life to give
My Rose looks like she died today for the petals lyin’ on her stone
But sure as the wind, I’ve made her new again
And if I would have made her any other way, I never would have made a Rose
