Seed Before The Rose lyrics

We were both so young and impatient at the time We thought we were in love so we closed our minds When they told us Love is like a rose it doesn't just appear Give it time to grow or it ends with tears There's gotta be a seed before the rose Tender loving care makes it sweeter as it grows There's gotta be love before the ties that bound Or the rose will end with petals on the ground But we paid no mind to the things that he have been told And we pledged our love with a band of gold On our fingers Now when I look back all that I can see Is heartache and regret and it's clear to me There's gotta be a seed before the rose... There's gotta be a seed before the rose There's gotta be a seed before the rose There's gotta be a seed before the rose
