A Rose for Emily Lyrics

The summer is here at last
The sky is overcast
And no one brings a rose for EmilyShe watches her flowers grow
While lovers come and go
To give each other roses from her tree
But not a rose for EmilyEmily (Emily), can't you see?
There's nothing you can do (how the sun is shining)
There's loving everywhere but none for youHer roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from painAnd as the years go by,
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for EmilyEmily (Emily), can't you see?
There's nothing you can do (How the sun is shining)
There's loving everywhere
But none for youHer roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow

That's all she has protecting her from painAnd as the years go by,
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily
