My final rose

I've seen the moonrise in a turquoise sky,
one time out Cheyenne way.
This simple beauty left me hypnotized,
like standing in your gaze.

The first time that I ever held you close,
you stole my breath away,
like sunlight breaking through the Tulsa rain
you changed the dark to day.

No other woman ever made me feel
a love so real so true.
I've searched a lifetime in a lonely world,
my restless heart chose you.
It's clear to see... you'll always be,
my final rose.

Your precious love gives me a peace of mind
like tequila in my veins.
Your passion knows no end or borderline
like fire on the plains.

When midnight leaves you with a fragile grace -
a tangled mystery
wrap your fears inside my warm embrace,
your heart is safe with me.
