Red rose out of the East,
Tell the love I love least
Who knows!
Red rose out of the West,
Tell the love I love best
Love is a rose.
Only a rose I give you,
Only a song dying away,
Only a smile to keep in memory,
Until we meet another day!
Only a rose to whisper,
Blushing as roses do,
I bring along a smile or a song
for anyone,
Only a rose for you!
Only a rose to whisper,
Blushing as roses do,
I bring along a smile or a song
for anyone,
Only a rose for you!
