Lyrics

give me some lilies and some iris blue

throw in some daisies, too

keep it simple, nothing fancy please

wrap them in green fern leaves


cause it ain't been all roses

no it ain't been all roses


and could you send along a simple card

no bows and arrows or cupid hearts

something more real for every day

something that shows the work it takes


cause it ain't been all roses

no it ain't been all roses

thank god love chose us

cause it ain't been all roses


i still remember that September day

the year was brisk the maple leaves had changed

chrysanthemums lined the shelter house

we lit a fire and we said our vows


but it ain't been all roses

no it ain't been all roses

thank god love chose us

cause it ain't been all roses


roses are fickle, they don't like the cold

they're temperamental as flowers go

but iris and lilies on the other hand

bloom every springtime like a waving hand


so here we are another fall has come

the harvest time has just begun

let's make the bed up with the flannel sheets

let the cold wind blow while we sleep in peace


it ain't been all roses

no it ain't been all roses

thank god love chose us

'cause it ain't been all roses


give me some lilies and some iris blue
