give me some lillies and some iris blue
throw in some daisies too
keep it simple nothing fancy please
wrap them in green fern leaves
Cuz it aint been all roses
no it aint been all roses

could you send along a simple card
no bows and arrows and cupid hearts
something more real more everyday
something that shows the work it takes

cuz it aint been all roses
no it aint been all roses
thank god love chose us
cuz it aint been all roses

I still remeber that september day
the air was brisk the maple leaves had changed
chrysanthemums lined the shelter house
we lit a fire and we said our vows

but it aint been all roses
no it aint been all roses
thank god love chose us
cuz it aint been all roses

roses are fickle they dont like the cold
their tempermental as flowers go
but iris and lillies on the other hand
bloom every springtime like the way we have

so here we are another fall has come
the harvst time has just become
lets make the bed up with the flannel sheets
let the cold wind blow while we sleep in peace

cuz it aint been all roses
no it aint been all roses
thank god love chose us
cuz it aint been all roses

give me some lillies and some iris blue
