Here's a rose from the garden
Where the bloom of romance grows
But I'll keep one part for my achin' heart
Just a petal from a faded rose
Love is sweet in the morning
When the breeze of summer blows
But will fade and die when the winter's nigh
Like a petal from a faded rose
Now our love is a memory
Where it's gone, God only knows
But I'll hold so dear, as a souvenir
Just a petal from a faded rose
I will live with the roses
Where the string of memory flows
And each time I dream, there a tear will gleam
On the petal from a faded rose
