Today I met a woman I don't think you know She showed me a smile nobody's ever shown She took off her clothes and her jacket I fold She told me about somewhere behind a rose It's looking out of bed she said 'seen somebody's clothes' It's knowing that tomorrow you're not gonna wake up alone It's the feeling of her legs upon my bones That's the beauty behind the rose It's walking down the street to your old home It's the feeling of your feet on that familiar stone It's all those little things she does that let you know That's the beauty behind the rose And once you find it I know you won't wanna go You stay up so late You'll fall asleep in your clothes You can't take back a song once it's been wrote But that's the beauty behind the rose
