     A quick google seach turns up a couple  ...   
      
   Pam Tillis   
      
   Her lips and her dress   
   They're both ruby red   
   She thinks that's how you hide   
   The pain you feel inside   
   And she comes out every night   
   To soak-up the neon light   
   Her perfume fills the air   
   People stop and stare   
      
   But Blue Rose is looking for the moon in someone's eyes   
   Blue Rose is willing to believe in someone's lies   
   Blue Rose's pedals have been crushed along the way   
   Oh Blue Rose is just growing bluer everyday   
      
   One more drink, one more dance   
   You might be her only chance   
   She needs someone to hold   
   When the night is growing old   
   And if you don't mind the thorns   
   She'll take you in and keep you warm   
   Lyin' in the dark   
   In a bed of broken hearts   
      
   But Blue Rose is looking for the moon in someone's eyes   
   Blue Rose is willing to believe in someone's lies   
   Blue Rose's pedals have been crushed along the way   
   Oh Blue Rose is just growing bluer everyday

   Blue rose of the Rio I can see her now   
   As she looked that day when I rode away through a golden dawn   
   It was there by the Rio that we made our vows   
   Then we kissed goodbye what a fool was I fore I traveled on   
   I should have known as we kissed such heaven as this could only be   
   Paradise's lost if it would tossed away so free   
   Must I wish for manana that will never come true   
   Blue rose of the Rio my answer is you   
   (I should have known...
