Frankie Laine - Rose, Rose I Love You lyrics

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.

What is your future, now we have to part?

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.

Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose.

Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes.

In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret

Please make way for Rose, you can hear them say.

All my life I shall remember

Oriental music and you in my arms.

Perfumed flowers in your tresses

Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.

Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes.

Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies.

I must cross the seas again and never see you more.

Way back to my home on a distant shore.

((All my life I shall remember))

((Oriental music and you in my arms))

((Perfumed flowers in your tresses))

((Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms))

Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay

Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say

East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart

I must leave you now but I leave my heart.

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.

What is your future, now we have to part

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.

((Rose, Rose I love you, I cannot stay))
