Lorrie Morgan - A Good Year for the Roses [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
[Sammy]
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lying cold the way you left 'em
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
[Lorrie]
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That I poured and didn't drink
[Sammy]
But at least you thought you wanted it
And that's so much more than I can say for me

[Chorus]
[Both]
It's been a good year for the roses
[Sammy]
And many blooms still linger there
[Lorrie]
The lawn could stand another mowin'
[Sammy]
Funny, I don't even care
[Both]
And when you turn to walk away
[Lorrie]
As the door behind you closes
[Sammy]
The only thing I know to say
[Both]
It's been a good year for the roses

[Verse 2]
[Lorrie]
After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that I haven't made the bed
[Sammy]
I guess the reason we're not talkin'
There's so little left to say, we haven't said
[Lorrie]
And while a million thoughts go racin' through my mind
I find I haven't spoke a word
And from the bedroom, the familiar sounds
Of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard

[Chorus]
[Both]
But what a good year for the roses
[Sammy]
And many blooms still linger there
[Lorrie]
The lawn could stand another mowin'
[Sammy]
Funny, I don't even care
[Both]
And when you turn to walk away
[Lorrie]
As the door behind you closes
[Sammy]
The only thing I know to say
[Both]
It's been a good year for the roses

[Tag]
[Sammy]
The only thing I know to say
[Both]
It's been a good year for the roses
