(R. Matsuo)
Red is the rose that brings soft a smile
A breath in the moment, just for awhile
So quickly fades what smiles are of
Sweet scent of roses, the first sigh of love
Embracing those affections hearts hold so close
Sharing in the beauty as red as a Rose
A child for a day, knowing no fears
Suddenly smiling in the middle of tears
Loves that have passed from hearts losing touch
Bearing the burden of what hurts so much
Let go of sorrow and sad long agos
Live life becoming as red as a Rose
Bring forth the day of life brand new
Remembering springtime, so simply blue
Red is the Rose, and so worth its while
To live for that moment that brings soft a smile
How a heart learns is how a heart grows
Thoughtfully blooming, red as a Rose
