Legends lyrics

I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses

A love just like mine that stands the test of time
I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses a love with everlasting clinging vine

Roses and true love fade a little now and then

But with the kiss and sunshine they'll blossom once again

I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses a love with everlasting clinging vine

[ steel ]

Roses and true love...

Yes more to me than anything else I've ever known

More to me than anything else I'm ever gonna see

Just your love is all that I need to depend upon
And each day that passes by you're more to me

When I'm gone away thoughts of you keep a runnin' through my mind

Like a sunny day I can feel your warm sweet love light shinin' all over me

Till I'm back in your arms again

Walking along, whistling a song,

Half foot and fancy free,

A big riverboat, passing us by, she’s headed for New Orleans

There she goes, disappearing around the bend.
Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child again.

A cool river breeze, like peppermint leaves,

The taste of it takes me back,

Chew’n on a straw, torn overalls,

I called her today, an accidental mistake
And her name slipped out to some friends
Forgotten old feelings are brand new today
'Cause I'm right back where I've always been

Now, she's just an old love turned memory
And now I seldom see her around
She's just an old love turned memory
But she still turns my world upside down

I went to some places where I knew she'd be

How do some folks stay in love like a honeymoon couples that can't get enough

How can love be tender yet so tough as it grows

I've left you and I've come back so many times I can't keep track
What is it one of us lacks do you know

When I stop leaving I'll be gone when I stop leaving you I'll be gone

Love's not gettin' any clearer sometimes I think it's all done with mirrors
