(David Mallett)

You may wonder if you know me

You may wonder if I care

Or if I'll leave you sad and lonely

Or if I'll always be right there

Well there's no need for doubt now darlin'

'Cause I have come to know

This love of ours is no common flower

You know this love is like a red, red rose



And you may wonder about this dreamer

If she's all you thought she'd be

And, oh, if anything but someday

Ever comes from lovin' me

But hold me close and tell me darlin'

That you have come to know

This love I bring you is no common thing

You know this love is like a red, red rose



When you're all caught up in sweet surrender

Simple truth is sometimes hard to see

Here between the tough times and the tender

It all comes down to you and me



And you may see my heart of darkness

I may stumble now and again

But underneath this heart of darkness

There's a heart that's lovin' you right till the end

So hold me close, come hold me darlin'

'Cause I want you to know

This love of ours is no common flower

You know this love is like a red, red rose



This love of ours is no common flower

You know this love is like a red, red rose
