With A Rose In My Hand

With a rose in my hand, wipe
The tear from your eye
We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight
Braving the skies as the world passes by

In eyes as deep as the ocean's floor,
I forget the things that I fear and let
Go of my past
And nothing hurts anymore, though memories will last
With the grace of an Angel you stand
Before me, we shelter from the rain
Under a marquee
Only loved is what we desire to be

With a rose in my hand, wipe
The tear from your eye
We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight
Braving the skies as the world passes by

My fingers are weaved
In yours, romance will blossom and flower as never before
Like a dream you'll seldom see
In this world anymore
If a promise means anything
At all to you,
I promise I'll be there, be there for you
And I know, in the end
You will see I am true

With a rose in my hand, wipe
The tear from your eye
We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight
Braving the skies as the world passes by

I will give and
I'll try, I commit and provide
We will live and we'll die, though our love
Will survive

I wanted to be like a
Thief in the night
Stealing your heart
As we slipped out of sight
But I couldn't be, though I shouldn't be
Anything more than myself tonight
You said it didn't matter, you said it
Was alright 'Cause it was me that you
Wanted from the very first sight
And we wouldn't be, though we couldn't be
Anything more than in love tonight

With a rose in my hand, wipe
The tear from your eye
We'll rise above all like a swallow in flight
Braving the skies as the world passes by

I will give and
I'll try, I commit and provide
We will live and we'll die, though our love
Will survive
