Promise Me a Rose

Promise Me a Rose - The Carmelettes

Composed by：Bob Merrill

If you promise me a rose

I'd go out and buy a pot

My imagination grows into roses by the plot

I've got roses on my doors

On my ceiling and my floors

And if you forget to keep your promise

For some reason or another you fail

How can the dreamer

Of such sweet roses

Be bothered by a slight detail

If you even brush my hand

Absent mindedly as this

Just your touch upon my hand

I can dream into a kiss

Then the kiss begins to soar

Into love forever more

And tho your little boat has no anchor

And my little boat has no sail

How can the dreamer

On love's blue ocean

Be bothered by a slight detail

If I asking for your love

Just a charish and a hug

Like the wan't give me love

What did think I'm find a boy

If you promise set you me

Oh how happy out of think

But if you forget to keep your promise

For some reason or another you fail

How can the dreamer

Of such sweet love and me

Bothered by a slight detail
