Roses From The Sky - 1949

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 12 Jul 2001

I stood alone upon a hill
as the ev'ning sun went down,
I saw the peaceful meadowlands
wrapp'd in a purple gown;
And something stirred within me,
a voice that made me start,
I looked up to the skies above
and wished with all my heart.

If wishes could be things
I'd wish that I had wings
to show'r the world
with roses from the sky,
I'd place each one apart,
a rose in ev'ry heart
to blossom into love
as time goes by.
Roses to remember
the tears of yesterday
Roses that will bloom
and never die,
For love's above all things
Oh! why can't I have wings?
To show'r the world with
Roses from the sky.

If wishes could be things
I'd wish that I had wings
to show'r the world
with roses from the sky,
I'd place each one apart,
a rose in ev'ry heart
to blossom into love
as time goes by.
Roses to remember
the tears of yesterday
Roses that will bloom
and never die,
For love's above all things
Oh! why can't I have wings?
To show'r the world with
Roses from the sky.
