“One Rose”

So blue
So lonesome too
But still true
Rosie, honey
Make me think of you

You’re the one rose that’s left in my heart, dear
I love you, adore you, I do
Each night through love land we’ll wander
Telling love’s story anew

But then from blue skies
A black cloud came rolling
Breaking my poor heart in two
But we ought not to part
I’ve said from the start
That you’re the one rose that’s left in my heart

[break]

But we ought not to part
I’ve said from the start
You’re the one rose that’s left in my heart

La-doe-doe-la-doe-doo, la-doe-doe-la-doe-doo
La-doe-doe-la-doe-doo, la-doe-doe-la-doe-doo

You’re the one rose that’s left in my heart, dear
I love you, adore you, I do
Each night through love land we’ll wander
Telling love’s story anew

But then from blue skies
A black cloud came rolling
Breaking my poor heart in two
But we ought not to part
I’ve said from the start
You’re the one rose that’s left in my heart
