Frank Sinatra - Fable Of The Rose lyrics

Starry night, this is the fable of the rose,<br>The rose I gave my love,<br>So young and tender, so in bloom.<br>Filled with a faint perfume,<br>Is lying crushed and faded in a room.<br>Starry night, this is the fable of the rose,<br>The rose I gave my love,<br>Beyond all dreams of her caress,<br>I may as well confess,<br>She only loved me slightly nonetheless<br>Yet her smile so strangely taunts me<br>All the thrill of it haunts me,<br>And so it goes, the fable of the rose.
