Story Behind The Song
In 1999 Jane and I met over the internet (actually by mistake) and fell in love with each other. Jane (living in Sydney, Aus) sent me one red rose to my office (in Omaha, NE) as a surprise. We've been happy and madly in love ever since!
Song Description
Originally written/recorded as a ballad (the version that Mike Brown sang), I re-wrote/re-mixed this upbeat version. This evolution actually reflects how our relationship has evolved...we've grown from being in love to also having the most fun of our lives!!

Lyrics
One Red Rose
Vocals, Lyrics & Music by Frank Pietrantoni
Like the first star rising in the night
Distant yet shining so bright
I had found you seemingly by mistake
But this wish I had to make
That this lone star brought true love
And the chance that I'd been dreaming of
One red rose
One red rose
As your light had drawn me close to you
Twas as if I always new
That our lives were meant to be
Together for all to see
What true love is and how it shows
And it started with one rose
One red rose
One red rose
Our love grows day by day
From one red rose
And no worlds could keep us apart
No distance was too far.
To bring me to you,
To make this love come true...
Now I know what we cherish is oh so true
'Cause I feel it all for you
True love is what I offer you
It seems we always knew
That our love lived in our separate souls
Then it only took one rose
One red rose
One red rose
Our love grows day by day
From one red rose
One red rose
One red rose
Our love grows day by day
From one red rose
Like the first star rising in the night
Distant yet shining oh so bright
