I'm waiting by the garden wall
Where roses bloom neath summer skies
You pressed one rose bud to you lips
The night we said our last good-bye
The rose you kissed is faded now dear
And love is gone since we're apart
You went your way and left me behind
A faded rose a broken heart
I never knew that love so sweet
Could prove so bitter in the end
I've tried to smile but all in vain
For love is dead I can't pretend
Someday your heart will break and then dear
You'll want me back and tears will start
When you recall the one you left
A faded rose a broken heart
