Lyrics

Give me some lilies and some iris blue
Wrap them in green fern leaves
Cuz it ain’t been all roses
Can you send along a simple card
No bows and arrows or cupid hearts
Something more real
For every day
Something that shows the work it takes

It ain’t been all roses
No it ain’t been all roses
Thank god love chose us
Cuz it ain’t been all roses

I still remember that September day
The air was brisk the maple leaves had changed
Chrysanthemums lined the shelter house
We lit a fire and we said our vows

It ain’t been all roses 
No it ain’t been all roses
But thank god love chose us
Cuz it ain’t been all roses

Roses are fickle they don’t like the cold
They’re temperamental as flowers go
But iris and lilies on the other hand
Bloom every springtime like a waving hand
So here we are another fall has come
A harvest time has just begun
Let’s make the bed up with the flannel sheets
Let the cold wind blow while we sleep in peace

It ain’t been all roses 
Not it ain’t been all roses
Thank god love chose us 
Cuz it ain’t been all roses
Give me some lilies and some iris blue
