Episode Notes

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.
