Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

San Antonio Rose

Deep within my heart lies

A melody, a song of old San Antone

Where in dreams I lived with a memory

Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue up above

A moonlit pass that only she would know

Still hears my broken song of love

Moon and all your splendor know

Only my heart call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals

Falling apart speak once again of my love my own

Oh, broken song empty words

I know still live in my heart all alone

For that moonlit pass by the Alamo

And Rose my Rose of San Antone
