Love is a rose and it grows like a rose
I found a rose nestled in someone's hair
Sweet was the rose and never a maid was so fair

In her eyes there was moonlight, and the rose in her hair
In my arms there was no one, so I just put her there
On her lips was a promise, in my heart was a prayer
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

On her face there was beauty, a picture to see
In her arms there was someone she loved more than me
In my mind was a vision, so lifelike and clear
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

And when I awakened it was only a dream
For she lay there beside me, so gently asleep
As I kissed her in slumber, I whispered a prayer
And peacefully went back to sleep with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

As I kissed her in slumber, I whispered a prayer
And peacefully went back to sleep with the scent
Of the rose in her hair
