lyrics

Our song, it plays in times
Where we both both know the beats
Know the steps, know the moves and know the rhymes
Our song provides the soundtrack for
The walks on quiet streets
Or Christmas in the mountains
And dinners in Paris...

Our song drops notes
To breathe clues into ears
Those things you need to say
To me, my dear….

Life is short, this love is sweet
And the words, they land complete
Zeven rozen
Seven roses
As many moments lie in store
As these petals at my door
Seven roses for the seven days I know you
Seven roses for the seven days I know you

Our song, it falls in line
When nothing seems to fit
Missing home, broken bones, but stronger ties
A tiny velvet box that gives the
Feeling something's happening
But, my darling, this is maddening
To guess which finger this ring's wrapping

Our song drops notes
To breathe clues into ears
Those things you need to say
To me, my dear….

Life is short, this love is sweet
And the words, they land complete
Zeven rozen
Seven roses
As many moments lie in store
As these petals at my door
Seven roses for the seven days I know you
Seven roses for the seven days I know you

You say that we'll get married
here someday
But there's something else
that you forgot to say

You need to ask me first, my sweet,
And say, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" (Yes)
Zeven rozen
Seven roses
As many moments lie in store
As these petals at my door
Seven roses for the seven days I know you
Seven roses for the seven days I know you
Seven diamonds for the seven months I know you (ik hou van jou)
Seven roses for the many ways I love you (ik hou van jou)
Seven roses for the years I’ve built a life with you (ik hou van jou)
