Omigod! I haven't thought of this song for years! Thank-you, thank-you for reminding me! First heard it from a high school friend, back in the early 70's -

Give me a rose in the wintertime
When it's hard to find
Give me a rose in the wintertime
I've got roses on my mind

A rose is sweet
Most any time, and yet
Give me a rose in the wintertime
How easy we forget

Give me a smile when I'm far from home
When it's hard to find
Give me a smile when I'm far from home
I've got smilin' on my mind

A smile is sweet
Most any time, and yet
Give me a smile when I'm far from home
How easy we forget

Give me a kiss when the baby's grown
When it's hard to find
Give me a kiss when the baby's grown
I've got kisses on my mind

A kiss is sweet
Most any time, and yet
Give me a kiss when the baby's grown
How easy we forget

Give me peace when there's talk of war
When it's hard to find
Give me peace when there's talk of war
I've got peace upon my mind

Now, peace is sweet
Most any time, and yet
Give me peace when there's talk of war
How easy we forget

Rpt 1st verse & chorus
