Lyrics
The Garden of the Rose (G. Fraga)
There´s a rose
Won´t you come out with me?
There´s a rose
Come out with me to the garden I see there´s a rose
The Garden of the Rose
If you can answer me
Tell me why I live in fear
Why some people can´t understand so many tears
Living with open eyes
Hurts my pride and makes me a fool
But the dreams that I hold inside won´t disappear
Won´t disappear
At all
Help me and keep me just going on
I don´t care to blame you
Well It´s hard to be just like a stranger
Silence is the only sound in my mind
To live
To give
Forgive
All I want is someone to believe
In me, again
Tell me that your love was not in vain
Or don´t bother me
Don´t bother me
Don´t bother me
Get out of here
Don´t bother me
Don´t bother me
I will tell you once again
Don´t bother me at all
There´s a rose
Won´t you come out with me?
There´s a rose
Come out with me to the garden I see there´s a rose
The Garden of the Rose
If you can answer me
Tell me why I live in fear
Why some people can´t understand so many tears
Living with open eyes
Hurts my pride and makes me a fool
But the dreams that I hold inside won´t disappear
Won´t disappear
At all
Help me and keep me just going on
I don´t care to blame you
Well It´s hard to be just like a stranger
Silence is the only sound in my mind
To live
To give
Forgive
All I want is someone to believe
In me, again
Tell me that your love was not in vain
Or don´t bother me
Don´t bother me
Don´t bother me
Get out of here
Don´t bother me
Don´t bother me
I will tell you once again
Don´t bother me at all
