An Occasional Rose

Intro: D G D A D [Verso 1] D It's so hard to fight a memory Em Only time can be a healer of the past A And the thorns of love are many D When they're clingin' to a love that didn't last D Yesterday is over and his memory G Will fade away with time D A So I'll accept a rose and just be patient D Till all your love is mine [Refrão] G D I can take the thorns if there's just an occasional rose G A I can bear the pain for a while even though my heart knows D You'll be thinkin' of him when we're makin' love G It always shows D A D I can take the thorns if there's just an occasional rose Interlude: D G D A D [Verso 2] D The road of love is rocky and Em Behind the blue sky there's a thousand storms A But a smile or a touch or a love word's D Like a rose among the thorns D When you say you love me G It erases all the worries on my mind D 'Cause you'll be with me tonight A D For a little while his memory's left behind [Refrão] G D I can take the thorns if there's just an occasional rose G A I can bear the pain for a while even though my heart knows D You'll be thinkin' of him when we're makin' love G It always shows D A D I can take the thorns if there's just an occasional rose Outro: D A D A D I can take the thorns if there's just an occasional rose
