One little rose he picked for her hair
But she chose another garment to wear
One little rose he threw away
And his heart was broken one summer day.

One little rose just lay on the ground
'Til a lonely little girl walked by and she found
One little rose just lying there
And the lonely little girl pinned the rose in her hair.

One lonely girl walked down the lane
And she met the boy whose heartache was pain
They'd never seen each other before
But they realized he'd picked the same rose she wore.

And as today came to a close
She too found true love through one little rose.
