D A7 D
Faded love and winter roses always bloom in memory
A7 D
Faded love and winter roses yearning hearts that used to be
G D A7
Will they meet again tomorrow where we parted yesterday
D A7 D
Give me back the winter roses and the love you took away
A7 D
Faded love and winter roses sprinkled with a lonely tear
A7 D
Faded love and winter roses still recall each yesteryear
G D A7
Will I always be a dream-er dreaming of the used to be
D A7 D
Faded love and winter roses live and die in memory

End.
