Tennessee Rose

Well it’s a sweet dream

That keeps me close to you dear

And it’s a sad thing

That we’re apart I’m blue dear

And there are times now

I thank the heavens up above

When I’m with the one that I love

Now there are diamonds

That some may long to see

And they may shine

But not bright enough for me

I wouldn’t take no

The whole world dipped in gold

For a night with my tennessee rose

Take this love that I am giving

For it’s truly the lasting kind

The gift I hold is believing

That you will always be mine

Take this love that I am giving

For it’s truly the lasting kind

The gift I hold is believing

That you will always be mine

Well it’s a sweet dream

That keeps me close to you dear

And it’s a sad thing

That we’re apart I’m blue dear

And there are times now

That heaven only knows

How I love my tennessee rose

Only my tennessee rose
