I used to imagine that you stayed 

And that I was able to touch your face 

I can remember how I cried 

Wishing you were with me 

I used to wonder about your day 

And if I was present in some way 

I needed to feel like I was loved 

I needed you desperately 



But i'm thankful, i'm grateful 

And you will always be to me 



Forever like a rose 

One so beautiful 

A symbol of love that I can hold 

Your petals shower me 

And I can feel your presence all around me 

Forever like a rose 

You're so incredible 

I can feel it still so powerful 

I finally believe 

That I can have your presence all around me 



I never was able to understand 

Why both of you chose to be just friends 

Thought we were a stronger family 

I guess I was wrong 

I was left with just holidays 

Maybe a Saturday or a Sunday 

Never had much time to spend together 

And I felt so alone 



But i'm thankful and grateful 

And you will always be to me... Forever 



Forever like a rose 

One so beautiful 

A symbol of love that I can hold 

Your petals shower me 

And I can feel your presence all around me 

Forever like a rose 

You're so incredible 

I can feel it still so powerful 

I finally believe 

That I can have your presence all around me 



I'm glad you have you life 

With your two new children and your wife 

It lifts my soul to see...You happy 

You will always be...Forever like a rose 



Forever like a rose 

One so beautiful 

A symbol of love that I can hold 

Your petals shower me 

And I can feel your presence all around me 

Forever like a rose 

You're so incredible 

I can feel it still so powerful 

I finally believe 

That I can have your presence all around me 



Forever like a rose 

One so beautiful 

A symbol of love that I can hold 

Your petals shower me 

And I can feel your presence all around me... I Love You...

Forever like a rose 

You're so incredible 

I can feel it still so powerful 

I finally believe 

That I can have your presence all around me
