Rose, Rose I Love You

Rose, Rose I Love You - Frankie laine

Written by：Thomas Wilfred/Henry/Langdon/Christian/Traditional

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 skies

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 nothin' 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
