  • O rose of my heart, can't you see
    I don't belong to misery
    Though she speaks fine with subtle art
    Such misery clothes the rose of my heart

    Now what I see in the long twilight
    A star falls down on a hill so white
    On a hill so white

    A face that glows in a golden hue
    No-one in this world knows what they do
    I take my oath and I make my vow
    For the tender things are upon me now

    In the fragrance sweet of the evening air
    I could leave this world quite without a care

    O rose of my heart, the vision dims
    the time is brief, now the shadow swims,
    A powerful a real fine hat
    Cause that's for you and that's where that's at

    Now what I see in the long twilight
    A star falls down on a hill so white

    O rose of my heart
    O rose of my heart
    O rose of my heart Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
