[Chorus:]
  One of these days the gig is up
  Shouldn't we take the time now
  To show our love
  
  Yeah, I got the blues again
  My mistake
  Tell me did you see the end coming
  Now I'm searching for a sign
  But looking back there're only good times
  Now I'm on the road again
  My soul aches
  It's clear that match won't work for me
  And now though things don't seem so hot
  I know I gave him all the love I got
  
  Bye-bye roses
  I got me a hand that's bitter sweet
  But I don't care
  I've known the garden
  
  Bye-bye roses
  I got me a hand that's bitter sweet
  But no regrets
  I've known the garden
  
  [Chorus]
  
  She was always my best friend
  Never late and coffee ice cream made her smile
  Now she's left and gone away
  And I'm here by myself another day
  And though I'll miss her to no end
  My heart breaks
  Tell me did she see the end coming
  At least I know it was sunny
  All the time that she spent with me
  
  Bye-bye roses
  I got me a hand that's bitter sweet
  But I don't care
  I've known the Garden
  
  Bye-bye roses
  I got me a hand that's bitter sweet
  But no regrets
  I've known the garden
  
  [Chorus]
