Maybe one of the old songs will cheer you.
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
I’m a sucker for old folk songs and this one, Bring Me a Rose (Ernie Sheldon), always cheers me. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket but I can offer you the lyrics and a link to a 1964 LP by the Limelighters.
Bring Me a Rose
Bring me a rose in the wintertime
When it’s hard to find
Bring me a rose in the wintertime
I've got roses on my mind.
A rose is sweet
Most any time, and yet
Bring me a rose in the wintertime
How easy we forget.
Bring me a friend when I’m far from home
When it’s hard to find
Bring me a friend when I’m far from home
I’ve got friendship on my mind.
A friend is sweet
Most anytime, and yet
Bring me a friend when I’m far from home
How easy we forget.
Bring me a smile when I'm all alone
When it’s hard to find
Bring me a smile when I'm all alone
I've got smilin’ on my mind.
A smile is sweet
Most anytime, and yet
Bring me a smile when I’m all alone
How easy we forget.
Bring me a kiss when my baby’s grown
When it’s hard to find
Bring me a kiss when my baby’s grown
I've got kisses on my mind.
A kiss is sweet
Most anytime, and yet
Bring me a kiss when my baby’s grown
How easy we forget.
Bring me love in my autumn years
When it's hard to find.
Bring me love in my autumn years
I've got lovin’ on my mind.
Love is sweet
Most anytime, and yet
Bring me love in the autumn years
How easy we forget.
Bring me peace when there's talk of war
When it's hard to find
Bring me peace when there's talk of war
Peace is on my mind.
Peace is sweet
Most anytime, and yet
Bring me peace when’s there talk of war
How easy we forget.
