Smell the Roses

You can't pick all the flowers

And expect to keep the garden

I used to search for hours

For reason in your eyes

All my friends are moving

The others are engaged

So I'll wave them off

As we drink champagne

Stop

And smell the roses

For we might not

Get another chance

You

Only destroy them

Nothing left

For our last dance

You want to have your cake

And eat it too

But I won't wait

To be number two

You can't pick all of the flowers

And expect to keep your garden

But you won't pick my flower

Or let me have my own

Stop

And smell the roses

For we might not

Get another chance

You

Only destroy them

Nothing left

For our last dance

The night is getting late

Not a word has been spoken

The silence still remains

And it'll stay unbroken
