A Teardrop On a Rose - Hank Williams

While strolling thru a lovely garden

As day was drawing to a close…

My eyes beheld a tragic story

I saw a teardrop on a rose.

It should have been a tear of gladness

But deep inside the sorrow shows

A trusting heart had just been broken

I saw a teardrop on a rose.

A sobbing tear that follows parting

Holds all the pain that sorrow knows

A false goodbye a life is shattered

There lies a story on a rose.

The tear will dry the rose will wither

I loved, I lost, my story ended

With just a teardrop on a rose.
