Cover Me With Roses
(Bennett)

I have loved you
For a lifetime
Been beside you in sickness and in health
Fought the fire, walked the water
My one desire
There is nobody else

I keep dreaming
I'll wake up safe and warm
I keep dreaming
I'll wake up in your arms

Then I'll smile and look in your eyes
Before the coffin closes
When I smile and say my goodbyes
Cover me with roses
Then take me home

I have touched you
Laid beside you
Felt the fever, the hunger and the pain
Every moment
Worth a lifetime
We've always known it's forever and again

I keep dreaming
I'll wake up safe and warm
I keep dreaming
I'll wake up in your arms

Then I'll smile and look in your eyes
Before the coffin closes
When I smile and say my goodbyes
Cover me with roses
Then take me home
