BRIDGE OF ROSES
(Robinson/Papageorge)

Mother's cancer made her cry in pain
As she rocked her dog and Elvis sang
She reminisced about the good old days
With her and Dad at their favorite place
A Bridge of Roses up the road
Of which she spoke in a voice that broke

CHORUS
How I love
That Bridge of Roses
Where thousands of
Wild blossoms bloom
Throw my ashes in the river
We'll be together
In that perfume

She told me down where the river flows
Was the place where dad kneeled to propose
She had his funeral at the riverside
And placed his ashes there when I was baptized
She wished they'd had so many more days
But some how she still could say

CHORUS
How I love
That Bridge of Roses
Where thousands of
Wild blossoms bloom
Throw my ashes in the river
We'll be together
In that perfume

BRIDGE
With her dog right by my side
I took her ashes to the bridge
The rising sun cast a bright pink sky
As it came up over the ridge	

END CHORUS
How I love
That Bridge of Roses
Where thousands of
Wild blossoms bloom
Throw my ashes in the river
We'll be together 
In that perfume
Throw my ashes in the river
We'll live forever
In that perfume
