Rose of the Rio

(Hank Snow)



I found the sunshine and I found the blue

I found the pale moon above

As from a garden of roses so fair

I picked a blossom of love.



Chorus:

Rose of the Rio, Sweetheart of mine

You came from Heaven to me

I'll always love you, I'll always care

You're just as sweet as you can be.



And when ev'ry flower has faded and died

And stars twinkle bright in the blue

You'll still be blooming sweet as today

Rose of the Rio I love you.



I searched the rainbow and I searched the stars

Waiting and watching for you

Now that I found you I'll never let you go

So promise you'll always be true.



Chorus:

Rose of the Rio, Sweetheart of mine

You came from Heaven to me

I'll always love you, I'll always care

You're just as sweet as you can be...
