Lord i'm so lonely How will i ever find my way I look out my window Rain's falling down just like the tears on my face It feels like this pain could last forever Now that i know she's not comin back So many things that i tried to say It didn't matter she wouldn't stay I smelled the roses the other day When she walked away She had her reasons She never felt there was a need to explain And she won't be knockin' And she won't be callin on the phone It feels like this pain could last forever Now that i know she's not comin back So many things that i tried to say It didn't matter she wouldn't stay I smelled the roses the other day When she walked away I smelled the roses the other day When she walked away So many things that i tried to say It didn't matter she wouldn't stay I smelled the roses the other day When she walked away So many things that i tried to say, darlin It didn't matter she wouldn't stay no, no, no I smelled the roses the other day When she walked away I woke up to smell them roses When she walked away
