Rose, Rose I Love You

Rose, Rose I Love You - Frankie laine

Written by：Thomas Langdon

Rose rose I love you with an aching heart

What is your future now we have to part

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya I cannot stay

Make way oh make way for my eastern rose

Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes

In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret

Please make way for

Rose you can hear them say

All my life I shall remember

Oriental music and you in my arms

Perfumed flowers

In your tresses

Lotus scented breezes and swaying palms

Rose rose I love you

With your almond eyes

Fragrant and slender

'Neath tropical skyes

I must 'cross the seas again

And never see you more

Way back to my home on a distant shore

All my life I shall remember

Oriental music and you in my arms

Perfumed flowers in your tresses

Lotus scented breezes and swaying palms

Rose rose I leave you

My ship is in the bay

Kiss me farewell now there's nothing to say

East is east

And west is west

Our worlds are far apart

I must leave you now but

I leave my heart

Rose rose I love you with an aching heart

What is your future now we have to part

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya I cannot stay

Rose rose I love you I cannot stay
