A Rose Is A Rose

Meredith Edwards

You might say she started out
Without what folks round here call a fair shake
A little girl with no shoes on her feet
Tangled hair, not a nickel to her name
And not a care
But no matter what
Her smile came shining through

Cause a rose is a rose, is a rose
And everybody knows a little
Sunlight and room to grow
Was all she needed
And seeing her face in town
Was like springtime coming around, well
I guess it just goes to show
A rose is a rose, is a rose

Tommy Lee always knew what he would do
Cause she moved him deep down in his heart
And everybody smiled at such a pair
Could they last
With two different worlds 
And sides of the tracks
But no matter what
Their love came shining through

Cause a rose is a rose, is a rose
And everybody knows a little
Sunlight and room to grow
Was all she needed
And seeing her face in town
Was like springtime coming around, well
I guess it just goes to show

A rose is a rose, is a rose
It always find a way to shine
Beauty is a state of mind

And seeing her face in town
Was like springtime coming around, well
I guess it just goes to show
A rose is a rose, is a rose
