Many times, the smallest things in life, which we often ignore, are more important than the ones that we consider far more valuable. This theme is highlighted in Kenny Rogers’ song “Buy Me a Rose”. In his song, he insists on the fact that expression of love plays a significant role in a relationship. However, many people ignore this fact and assure that love can be expressed through wealthy and rich.
In his song, Kenny Rogers’ narrates the story of a wife whose husband loves her very much. However, she thinks that the way her husband shows her his love is not appropriate. According to her husband, the best way of showing his love to his wife is by providing her with all the wealth and comforts of life. Consequently, he works hard day and night and is thus not able to devote any of his time to her. His wife, however, argues that this is not what she wants. All she wants for him is to show her more affection by giving her more of his time, caring for her and by expressing his feeling for her. These are the things that she yearns for in her life and not the big, flashy things that he has given her.
To her, ...
... these are all the things that can bring her maximum joy and happiness. Although her husband loves her very much, his way of showing his love for her is creating distance between the two. And as time passes by, the distance keeps increasing.
This song expresses how we lead our lives in today’s world and how we think that it takes a lot to make a person happy. It is always the simple pleasures of life which make a difference. It is never the big and flashy things.
The main idea of “Buy M e a Rose” is that people who are closer to us deserve more sincere expressions of our love, which may be found in smaller things in life. Spending time with them rather than spending money on them is a better way of expression our love. We should learn to express our feelings than to show our love through material goods.
Express your love.

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she say:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she cant help but wonder what shes doing wrong
Cause lately shed try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life

And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he hold inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Cause Im gonna make things right
Im gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life.
