He came home from working late again to a table set with candles for two And by a dying flame he hung his head in shame he forgot that she needs him too He finds a note she left for him it said she can't do this anymore You've done it again when will it end and who are you really working for Don't wait till it's too late it's too late for roses You can't say you're sorry once the flower shop closes It's too late to miss her once another proposes When you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses [ steel ] She woke up to the smell of roses he surprised her with breakfast in bed He said he was wrong the night was too long those three little words went unsaid So don't take tomorrow for granted cause today just might be your last chance Now's the time to start start thinking with your heart And hold her like it's your last dance Don't wait till it's too late... Once you're pushing up daisies it's too late for roses
