Iris Blue
Iris Blue
Give me some lilies and some iris blue
Throw in some daisies too
Keep it simple, nothing fancy please
Wrap them in green fern leaves

Cause it ain’t been all roses
No, it ain’t been all roses

Could you send a long a simple card?
No bows and arrows no cupid hearts
Something more real, more everyday
Something that shows the work it takes

Chorus:
*Cause it ain’t been all roses
No it ain’t been all roses
Thank God, love chose us
Cause it ain’t been all roses

I still remember that September day
The air was brisk, the maple leaves had changed
Chrysanthemums lined the shelter house
We lit a fire and we said our vows
Repeat *

Roses are fickle they don’t like the cold
They’re temperamental as flowers go
But iris & lilies on the other hand
Bloom every springtime like the way they have

Here we are another fall has come
The harvest time has just begun
Let’s make the bed up with the flannel sheets
Let the cold wind blow while we sleep in peace

Repeat *

Give me some lilies and some iris blue
