Why do the roses Lyrics

Why do the roses whisper to the wind?
And toss their heads so high?
O gentle zephyr, tell me what they said
As you passed by
Say, do they look with envy at the bloom
On Flora's cheek that glows?
O well they know it mantles there
Surpassing any rose

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
