One moonlit winter midnight
You came to say good-bye
Your love was dying
And you told me so

And though you'd gone forever
I somehow couldn't cry
When in my garden
I saw roses grow

I can't forget the roses
Roses in the snow
Outshining stars and winter moonlight
Believe me, I'll remember
That night one cold December
When I saw red roses in the snow

I can't forget the roses
Though I'll never know
What made them grow
Like summer sunshine
Believe me, I'll remember
That night one cold December
When I saw red roses in the snow

My life has been so lonely
Unchanging since you've gone
There's no more dreaming
You'll come back to me

Sweet memories die slowly
Just fading like a song
That keeps recalling
Love that used to be

I can't forget the roses
Roses in the snow
Outshining stars and winter moonlight
Believe me, I'll remember
That night one cold December
When I saw red roses in the snow

I can't forget the roses
Though I'll never know
What made them grow
Like summer sunshine
Believe me, I'll remember
That night one cold December
When I saw red roses in the snow

If I should live forever
I know that I will never
See again red roses in the snow
