Lyrics (Chorus 1)
She was sitting there alone on a bench
Broken hearted, tears rolling down her face
Holding a rose she received from him
Just yesterday
(Verse 1)
As she stared at the silver watch on her wrist
He’d given her on their first anniversary
Her eyes burned as she reminisced
Of how things used to be
(Verse 2)
He gave her one rose one day a year
It was all he could afford back then
They’d go for a drive on that same night
To where he proposed to her on the bench
(Bridge)
He did everything to recapture that moment
Ordered all the roses in advance
So that he could be sure she’d have one each year
Just in case he didn’t have the chance
The bench was in the graveyard and he was buried near
So when she sat at it, he’d be right there
(Chorus 2)
So she sat there all night alone on a bench
Broken hearted, tears rolling down her face
Holding a rose she received from him
Just yesterday
