Watched you roll your lovely hands Around someone I loved And you closed the petals No more sun it seemed And sometimes I still cry to wonder why  The sun could ever fade  Rose of Sharon lights my way  Rose of Sharon lights my way Walking through the thickets just to find where lilies grow  Found 100 million blooming in our common mind  Rose of Sharon lights my way  Rose of Sharon lights my way I guess there's times I cry to wonder why The sun could ever fade  I listen to my heartbeats in the dark The winter goes away  The blooming of it once 100 million lilies in our common mind Rose of Sharon lights my way Rose of Sharon lights my way Rose of Sharon lights my way
