I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made it

After the drums and the guitars all faded

Was the best they could do good enough?

Or did the Heartland just swallow em up?

How did my mom and my dad ever do it?

If there was struggles then we never knew it

I guess they had each other, that was enough

You know you can't keep the ground from shaking, no matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading, you gotta treat your life like

You're jumping off a rope swing baby 'cause the whole thing's really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

What am I gonna tell my kids when they see

All of this bullshit that goes down on TV

When the whole world is down on its luck

I gotta make sure they keep their chin up

Cry when it hurts, laugh when it's funny

Chase after the dream, don't chase after the money

And know we got each other, that's what's up

'Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking, no matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading, you gotta treat you life like

You're jumping off a rope swing baby 'cause the whole thing's really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

'Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking, no matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading, you gotta treat you life like

You're jumping off a rope swing baby 'cause the whole thing's really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love love love love... like there's no such thing

You gotta love love love love... as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart.

(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa)

(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa)

You are my special angel

Sent from up above

The Lord smiled down on me

And sent an angel to love (to love)

You are my special angel

Right from paradise

I know you're an angel

Heaven is in your eyes

The smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine

Tears from your eyes bring the rain

I feel your touch, your warm embrace

And I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel

Through eternity

I'll have my special angel

Here to watch over me

(A smile from your lips brings the summer sunshine)

(The tears from your eyes bring the rain)

I feel your touch, your warm embrace

And I'm in heaven again

You are my special angel

Through eternity

I'll have my special angel

Here to watch over me (watch over me)

Here to watch over me
(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh, oh).

ALBUM: KEEP THE FAITH

LABEL: MERCURY RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL

YEAR: 1992

"Bed of Roses" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi in late January 1993, from the album Keep the Faith. Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song in a hotel room while suffering from a hangover and the lyrics reflect his feelings at the time. The song contains drawn out guitar riffs and soft piano playing, along with emotive and high vocals by Jon Bon Jovi.

The song's power ballad style made it a worldwide hit, and it demonstrated the band's new, more mature sound after their success as a glam metal band in the 1980s. Released as a successful single in 1993, it reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, #5 on the top 40 mainstream, #13 in the UK Top 40, and #10 in the German Top 100.

A Spanish version, Cama de Rosas, was also recorded.

Sitting here, wasted and wounded

At this old piano

Trying hard to capture the moment

This morning I don't know

'Cause a bottle of vodka

Is still lodged in my head

And some blond gave me nightmares

I think that she's still in my bed

As I dream about movies

They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up

And french kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

It's own beat in my head

While we're talking

About all of the things that I long to believe

About love, the truth

And what you mean to me

And the truth is baby, you're all that I need

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, I'm so far away

That each step that I take is on my way home

A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night

Just to see through this payphone

Still I run out of time

Or it's hard to get through

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

I'll just close my eyes and whisper

Baby, blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

Well, I might have said yeah

But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes

Know I'll be thinking about you

While my mistress, she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonight I won't be alone

But you know that don't

Mean I'm not lonely

I've got nothing to prove

For it's you that I'd die to defend

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses.

I caught you smiling

I know I've seen you here before

How come you're hiding

Hey don't cha wanna hit the floor?

The place is crowded

Or maybe you don't like the beat

I got a two-track playing in my head

So let me take you somewhere else instead

(Dancing in the sheets)

Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends

I wanna take you where the night never ends

I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet

You and me we should be dancing in the sheets

(Dancing in the sheets)

We feel the rhythm

We've got the music on our side

If we go with 'em

I'll bet we'll have a wonderful ride

Your hands are cold

So maybe we could make some heat

Love is always born on a chance

So wrap around me and baby let's dance

(Dancing in the sheets)

Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends

I wanna take you where the night never ends

I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet

You and me we should be dancing in the sheets

(Dancing in the sheets)

Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends

I wanna take you where the night never ends

I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet

You and me we should be dancing in the sheets

(Dancing in the sheets)

(Dancing in the sheets)

(Dancing in the sheets)

(Dancing in the sheets)

(Dancing in the sheets).
