The first time I saw her

Overnight love started blooming

Like the first rose of spring
VERSE:

Auburn hair like a sunrise
D A
Sweetest smile he'd ever seen

Butterflies, they danced around her

Like the first rose of spring

To things he'd never dream

Without the first rose of spring

Gave him children like a garden
B7 E7
They gave 'em all the love they'd need

To grow up strong, she made a home
A D
And every year, he'd bring
A E7 A A
Her the first rose of spring
VERSE:
A E7 A
The last time he saw her
D A
He knew everything had changed
D
He said goodbye
A D
And let the tears fall like rain
A E7 A D A D A
On the first rose of spring
