Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I s[G]urp[C]ris[G]ed her at work today
and brought her a red [D]rose
Then for [Dsus4]an hour w[D]e slipped away
and had lunch [G]just for two
No I didn't [C]get that [G]job today so
that new dress will have [C]to wait
And though she planned to wear it [D]Sunday
she just smiled and said [G]okay

[Verse 2]
She knows the rose is [G]for today,
my love is for [D]always
And a rose is all I can give till
better times [G]come our way
She knows I'll still be needing her
long after the [C]petals fade
The rose [D]is for today,
my love is for [G]always

[Verse 3]
When we're home [G]and the
day is done she
Hugs my neck because [D]she knows
[Am]I'm down[D]
Talkin' low and lettin' feelings
Show she says my love is [G]all that counts
But I want [C]a man[Dsus4]sion to shel[G]ter her[Dm]
and we'll [G]have it all [C]someday
For every petal on the [D]red rose I promise
you'll have a bou[G]quet[Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[G]She knows the rose is for today,
my love is [D]for always
And a rose is all I can give till
better times [G]come our way
She knows I'll still be needing her
long after [C]the petals fade
The rose [D]is for today,
[C]my [D]love is for al[G]ways
The [D]rose is for today,
my love is for [G]always
[C][G]
