You Kept Them All

[Verse 1]
You marked the bed with a piece of twine
Then watched the red rose climb the line
A pale one opened by the gate
You said, “I’ll choose when I can wait”

[Pre-Chorus]
Each stem leans into the day
Each petal asks you, “Which will stay?”
Your shears are cool against your hand
The whole row blooms beyond the plan

[Chorus]
Pick one, pick none, let them grow
Every rose has a reason to show
Round and round, the seasons roll
You keep them all, you keep them all
Pick one, pick none, let them grow
Every rose has a reason to show
When summer turns and the cold winds call
You kept them all, you kept them all

[Verse 2]
The white one cups the morning rain
The gold one nods above the lane
The last red bloom arrives too late
You laugh and leave it by the gate

[Pre-Chorus]
Each stem leans into the day
Each petal asks you, “Which will stay?”
Your shears are cool against your hand
The whole row blooms beyond the plan

[Chorus]
Pick one, pick none, let them grow
Every rose has a reason to show
Round and round, the seasons roll
You keep them all, you keep them all
Pick one, pick none, let them grow
Every rose has a reason to show
When summer turns and the cold winds call
You kept them all, you kept them all

[Bridge]
Now leaves fall soft on the garden wall
The stems stand bare, but you kept them all
No bloom was wasted, none was denied
You let each season take its time

[Final Chorus]
Pick one, pick none, let them grow
Every rose had a reason to show
Round and round, the seasons roll
You kept them all, you kept them all
Pick one, pick none, let them grow
Every rose had a reason to show
When winter comes and the last leaves fall
You kept them all, you kept them all

[Outro]
You kept them all
You kept them all
