Still Life With Rose - Junior Brown

Saw you with your uptown friend at a party down the hall

You were looking at a picture that was hanging on the

Wall

The title of the painting was called Still Life with Rose

And I remembered how Rose rescued me from your heartaches

Long ago

Still life with Rose is better than life with you

Whenever babe you made me a picture perfect fool

She’s not a perfect picture and we sure ain’t getting

Richer

Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with

You

She’s never tasted caviar or sipped on fine champagne

Still life with Rose is better than any artist’s brush

Could paint

Sometimes she’s hard to live with, Sometimes she makes me

Blue

Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with

You

Still life with Rose is better than life with you

Whenever babe you made me a picture perfect fool

She’s not a perfect picture and we sure ain’t getting

Richer

Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with

You

Still life with Rose is better than the life I had with

You
