Are the Roses Not Blooming?
THOM SCHUYLER
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Has the sun lost it's beautiful ray
Have the children no reason for laughing
Or my darling are you walking away
Has the sky lost it's brilliant blue color
Are the robins not singing today
Has that river no reason for running
Or my darling are you walking away
Has my heart found a reason for breaking in two
Have my eyes found a reason to cry
Have my ears heard the voice of a stranger
Or my darling are you saying goodbye
Has the earth lost it's power for turning
Has the winter decided to stay
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Or my darling are you walking away
Are the roses not blooming this morning
Or my darling are you walking away
Or my darling are you walking away
