    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?
