Roses Are Blooming

Verse 1

Roses are blooming,

Come back to me, darling.

Back to me, darling,

and nevermore roam.

Robins are singing,

and church bells are ringing.

Roses are blooming

Come home.

 

Verse 2

Moonlight was shining

the night that we parted.

Held you and kissed you,

Called you my own.

Words sweet and tender,

you said that you loved me.

Roses are blooming

Come home.

 

Bridge

Long lonely winter has turned into Spring.

melting the snow from the hills

But springtime won't banish

the chill in my heart.

I can't be happy 'till you return

 

Verse 3

How long your sweet smile

has haunted my dreams, dear

How long your whisper

has taunted my ear

All I have left now

is echoes and memories

Echoes and memories and tears

 

Repeat Bridge

 

Repeat verse 1
