Album: The End Of Heartache (2004)

License This Song 

• Numb, we're broken, here I stand alone
  Wondering what were the last words I said to you
  Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time
  Can I turn back time?
  
  What would I give to behold
  The smile
  The face of love
  You've never left me
  The rising sun
  Will always speak your name
  
  Numb, we're broken, here I stand alone
  Wondering what were the last words I said to you
  
  It won't be long, we'll meet again
  
  What would I give (what would I give)
  To behold
  The smile
  The face of love
  You've never left me
  (You've never left me)
  The rising sun
  Will always speak your name
  
  It won't be long, we'll meet again
  Your memory is never passing
  It won't be long, we'll meet again
  My love for you is everlasting
  
  I mourn for those who never knew you
  I mourn (I mourn) for those (for those) who never knew you
  Who never knew you
  
  It won't be long, we'll meet again
  Your memory is never passing
  It won't be long, we'll meet again
  My love for you is everlasting
  
  It won't be long, we'll meet again
  It won't be long, we'll meet again Writer/s: ADAM DUTKIEWITZ, HOWARD JONES, JOEL STROETZEL, JUSTIN FOLEY, MIKE D'ANTONIO

• Brennen Dills from South CarolinaThe song is about none other than. JESUS THE CHRIST. HE IS THE ROSE OF SHARON!!!
• JgThis song is a beautiful homage to the woman whom passed much love, condolences, and sympathies out god bless rip
• Mark Mannson from Parts UnknownThere's no right or wrong answer to this, I believe. You can have your own interpretation of a song, but for me, personally, I think about my family and loved ones when I think about this song.
• B from Ctthis song is about my grandmother for the people in the comments thinking it’s about the bible
• Aaron Sander from VaRose of Sharon is also an assisted living apartments in Oakland, California. I remember laughing seeing it for the first time when I lived there and I immediately played Rose of Sharyn :)
• Dan from ToledoIt’s also a plant...with flowers...don’t look so deep for it to fit a narrative...lookin at you Zach & Zach.
• Zach from ArkansasI am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. - Song of Solomon 2:1
  It's from the bible, just accept it.
• Werq from Qwer, BahamasHow about you read it sometime you will find that there is nothing in the song of solomon about losing a loved one thats what howard sings about read the lyrics
• Zack from Hamilton, Ohtry both of you are wrong its form the bible, try reading it sometime.
• Nicole from Chicago, Il"Tee" is very wrong. I read "A Raisin in the Sun" and "Grapes of Wrath" in high school, and Rose of Sharyn is definitely NOT from the former. Rose of Sharon is a character in "Grapes of Wrath". Trust me, I even checked my facts online. She is a daughter in the Joad family.
• Gabreya from Pine Bluff, AkThis is an awesome song. It's beautiful, too. It's a little sad but it's mostly happy because there's hope and joy coming into our lives. This is one of Killswitch Engage's best songs ever! It's another rock song that I would dance to.
