Every Rose Must Have Its Thorn - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Every Rose Must Have Its Thorn. Copyright, 1891, by T. B. Harms & Co. Words by J. Cheever Goodwin. Music by Woolson Morse. 
Day by day love's rose unfolding, first the bud and then the bloom, In our heart of hearts we're holding, bringing sunshine to life's gloom, But, too late, we learn with sorrow, shades of night must follow morn, Joy to-day is grief to-morrow, every rose must have its thorn; But, too late, we learn with sorrow, every rose must have its thorn, But, too late, too late, we learn with sorrow, every rose must have its thorn.
