ROSEANNA

(Sonny Miller, Hans May)


As recorded by:
Joe Loss & His Orchestra
V. Par McCormack
Recorded 14th March 1945



Roseanna, lovely rose of my heart
Must we meet, but to part
This love I feel just for you’s as real as the stars that shine
You hold a spell though your eyes never tell me
You’re really mine
Roseanna, when I dream you are near
Roseanna, like a dream, you appear
I know the kiss of a will o’ the wisp
Still my heart has flown
You’re gone, and I’m alone.

(Musical Break)

Roseanna, when I dream you are near
Roseanna, like a dream, you appear
I know the kiss of a will o’ the wisp
Still my heart has flown
You’re gone, and I’m alone.
