the rose is for today Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I s[Em]urpri[C]se[G]d her at work
today and brought her a red [D]rose
And for an [Bm]hour [D]we slipped away
and had lunch just for [G]two
No I didn't get the job today so that
new dress will have [C]to wait
And though she planned to wear it [D]Sunday
She just smiled and said OK
[G]

[Verse 2]
She knows the [D]rose is [G]for today
- but my love is for [D]always
And a rose is all I can give - till better
[G]times come our way
She knows I'll [Em]still [D]be nee[G]ding her
long after all the petals [C]fade
The rose is [D]for today - but
my love is for [G]always
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]When we're home
and the day is done
She holds me close 'cause
[D]she knows I'm down
Talking low and letting feelings show
She says my love is all [G]that counts
But I want a [Em]mansion [D]to she[G]lter her
And babe we'll have it [Bm]all s[C]omeday
And for every petal on [D]that red rose
- I promise you a bou[G]quet[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]She knows the ros[D]e is for[G] today
- but my love is for [D]always
And a rose is all I can give - till
better [G]times come our way
She knows I'll [Em]still [D]be nee[G]ding her
long after all the petals [C]fade
The rose is [D]for today - but my love
is for [G]always
She knows the rose is for today
- but my [C]love is for always
