"Roses" lyrics - TROMBONE SHORTY

[Intro:]
How many roses
How many blue skies
How many sunsets
Before you realize

Caught up in the race again
News is flashin' and everyone is
Cashin' in
How many dollar bills
Would it take
For you to wake up and smell the roses

[Chorus:]
How many roses
How many blue skies
How many sunsets
Before you realize

I got up on the plane in Amsterdam
I said "my sights are on Japan"
Touch ground and look out over the sea
I'm thinkin' 'bout home again

[Pre Chorus:]
How many roads
Leads back
To you
How much more time
Will I get
To see them through
Are there so many years to see
What is standing right in front of me
(What is standing right in front of me)

[Chorus:]
How many roses
How many blue skies
How many sunsets
Before you realize

[Outro:]
So many roses fill the air
So many blue skies everywhere
So many roses fill the air
So many blue skies
