[Intro]               [Verse 1] I must make up my mind today What to have what to hold A poor man’s roses Or a rich man’s gold [Verse 2] One’s as wealthy as a king in a palace Tho’ he’s callous and cold He may learn to give his heart for love Instead of buyin’ it with gold       [Pre-Chorus] Then the poor man’s roses And the thrill when we kiss       Will be memories of paradise That I’ll never miss [Chorus] And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight Is the hand I will hold For the rose of love means more to me More than any rich man’s gold      [Instrumental]              [Pre-Chorus] Then the poor man’s roses And the thrill when we kiss       Will be memories of paradise That I’ll never miss [Chorus] And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight Is the hand I will hold For the rose of love means more to me More than any rich man’s gold...

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le choix entre l'amour véritable et les richesses matérielles. Elle souligne que l'affection d'un homme modeste, symbolisée par une rose, a plus de valeur que les possessions d'un homme fortuné, même si ce dernier peut offrir de l'or et des joyaux. La narratrice se rend compte que les moments simples et authentiques, comme un baiser partagé, représentent un bonheur inestimable qu'aucune fortune ne peut égaler. Au final, c’est l'amour sincère qui l'emporte sur tout le luxe du monde.
