Suzy Bogguss does a song titled "Ah, May The Red Rose Live Always!". Could this be the song? If so, its from the Beautiful Dreamer soundtrack and available from iTunes for 99 cents.

Ah! may the red rose live always,
To smile upon earth and sky
Why should the beautiful ever weep?
Why should the beautiful die?

Lending a charm to every ray
That falls on her cheeks of light,
Giving the zephyr kiss for kiss,
And nursing the dewdrop bright

Chorus:
Ah! may the red rose live always,
To smile upon earth and sky
Why should the beautiful ever weep?
Why should the beautiful die?

Long may the daisies dance the field,
Frolicking far and near!
Why should the innocent hide their heads?
Why should the innocent fear?

Spreading their petals in mute delight
When morn in its radiance breaks,
Keeping a floral festival
Till the night-loving primrose wakes

Lulled be the dirge in the cypress bough,
That tells of departed flowers
Ah! that the butterfly’s gilded wing
Fluttered in evergreen bowers

Sad is my heart for the blighted plants
Their pleasures are just as brief
They bloom at the young year’s joyful call,
And fade with the autumn leaf

Chorus:
Ah! may the red rose live always,
To smile upon earth and sky
Why should the beautiful ever weep?
Why should the beautiful die?
