Wilting Rose lyrics

Writers: Doug Supernaw, Lonnie Atkinson



Cold tile floors, a single bed

The TV is her only company

Out he door she sticks her head

Thought she heard her family



But it`s not Christmas or Mother`s Day

And all her old friends have passed away

She`s living in a garden

Where only heartache grows

`Cuz what was a blooming flower

Is now a wilting rose



Days go by, she`s hanging on

Staring at the grand kids on the wall

She stars to cry cuz Sunday`s gone

I guess they just forgot to call



And all that keeps her from giving up

The hope she`ll look outside and walking up

Is a child that must meet Grandma before the day she goes

Cuz what was a blooming flower

Is now a wilting rose



She`s living in a garden where everybody knows

That we`ll soon be laying flowers upon our wilting rose
