21 RED ROSES

Happy Birthday baby Sister  

You’d be 21 today    

And there are 21 red roses  

By this headstone on your grave

I wonder who they’re  from  

Wait…here’s a card to read

Let me set my flowers down

These daisies are from me

Well it’s not easy to read this

The sender must have cried

Everything’s a little blurry

And there’s something else inside

Oh, Sis it’s a diamond ring

It just has to be from Jon

You know I haven’t seen him once

Since the day that you passed on

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Happy Birthday Babe

Here’s the ring I promised you

I wish that you were here today

To make our dreams come true

I moved into the little house

We picked out by the shore

It’s not as pretty as I thought

Well it isn't anymore

I know daisies are your favorite

But A red rose is for love

I just wanted to, make sure you knew

If you saw them from above

Forgive the tears I have shed this year

And today here by your grave

Happy 21st  Birthday

I sure miss you Babe

~~*~~

I’m sorry baby Sister

I don’t know what else to say

I drive by your apartment

To and from work every day

Thought that he might need a friend

Or a shoulder to cry on

But it’s like he died when you did

For me, you’re both just gone

I’m glad I saw the ring and card

At least I know he is okay

There are 21 red roses 

By this headstone on your grave

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Happy Birthday baby Sister  

You’d be 21 today    

And there are 21 red roses

By the headstone at your grave  

He knows daisies are your favorite

But red roses are for love

And I know you think they're gorgeous

That you see them from above

Forgive the tears we've shed this year

And today here by your grave

Happy Birthday Baby Sister
You'd be 21 today
