left early today
on my way to pick you up
something wasn't quite okay
then our song came on and i had to stop
i pulled in to the lot
and walked into the grocery store
made a right, my eyes lit up
i saw what i thought were perfect for
you...

there were
one dozen roses
sparkling, beautiful roses
pink and white and red i stopped
and realized right then
all i need is one

driving out, across the state line
pull off onto a country drive
through the pastures, over the fields
i kicked it up, into four wheels,
and then i saw them
growing out of the green, green grass
i started to count them out and then you
smiled at me cuz alas

there were
one dozen roses
sparkling, beautiful roses
pink and white and red i stopped
and realized right then
all i need is one

you're the only one i need
when my life gets painful and thorny
you're the only thing i need
to keep me hanging one

there were
one dozen roses
sparkling, beautiful roses
pink and white and red i stopped
and realized right then
all i need is one

all i need is one...
all i need is one...
all i need is one...
and all i need is one...
