LOVE SENDS A LITTLE GIFT OF ROSES
(John Openshaw (m) Leslie Cooke (l) 1919)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra


Love sends a little gift of roses,
Breathing a prayer unto my posies,
Torn from my heart as twilight closes,
Asking this, only this:

One heart to grow a little tender,
Two eyes to glow with love's own splendour,
Two lips to give in sweet surrender,
Just a kiss, just a kiss!

One heart to grow a little tender,
Two eyes to glow with love's own splendour,
Two lips to give in sweet surrender,
Just a kiss, just a kiss!
