  PERFORMANCE TIPS:

Length of song: 3:31

Song style/genre: Romantic ballad

Key(s): E major to A major

Note range (Low/High): B below middle C to F sharp in next octave above middle C

About the song: A lyrical, sensuous ballad narrated from the point of view of a shy, bookish individual, finally driven to make a commitment almost in spite of him/herself to someone who cannot be lost. Yeah, it's partly me this song is describing, but the details are mostly fiction. Well, I am surrounded by several thousand science fiction books, but that's another song.

Gender point of view: It's usually a guy in the position described here, but "Roses" could be done by a woman who has no problem with the thought of bringing roses to a man.

“’It’s Time For Roses’ is a captivating story song with some word choices that got my ear (I like hearing ‘zen’ and ‘Bartok’ in this tale of a well-read but isolated person finding a new love).” – Rob Lester’s CD review at TalkinBroadway.com

"One of my favourite tracks is a touching tune 'It's Time for Roses.' Mikolaj Furmankiewicz in his blog
