I guess the reason we're not talkin' That's so much more than I can say for me And as the door behind you closes Lyin' cold the way you left them When you turned and walked away Songwriter: Jerry Chesnut The only thing I know to say When you turned and walked away But what a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there But at least you thought you wanted it I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick It's been a good year for the roses Of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard It's the first time that you haven't made the bed The only thing I know to say Publisher: SONY/ATV SONGS D/B/A TREE PUBG CO That you poured and didn't drink And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee Funny, I don't even care After three full years of marriage And from the bedroom those familiar sounds On the cigarettes there in the ashtray Funny, I don't even care Many blooms still linger there It's been a good year for the roses I find I haven't spoke a word The lawn could stand another mowin' While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind There's so little left to say, we haven't said And as the door behind you closes The lawn could stand another mowin' But at least your lips caressed them while you packed It's been a good year for the roses
