From the recording Miss Scarlett and the Madmen: Dark Love Songs
Lyrics
It Must Be Roses
Sunflowers bring any room to life Their petals turn to the sun
But if you want to make me your wife Bring me roses, it must be roses
Roses, roses
Only roses will do
If you really love me
You’ll bring me roses, it must be roses
Tulips are bright and cheerful Perfect for mother’s day
But only roses will do my love If my father is to give me away
Chorus:
Roses, roses
Only roses will do
If you really love me
You’ll bring me roses, it must be roses
Lillies are fine for you mothers grave Respectful honest and true
But if you want to show me your love Only roses will do
Chorus
A daisy-chain for our flower girl Carnation on your lapel
Irises for the bridesmaids These are all fine and well
But I’ll carry
Chorus
Once we’re married, and you’re my groom I’ll live with you til I die
When I die you’ll fill my room
With roses, only roses
Chorus
