Tennessee Rose

(Karen Brooks - Hank DeVito)



It's a sweet dream that keeps me

Close to you dear

And it's a sad thing

When 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 men love to see

And they may shine

But not bright enough for me.



I wouldn't trade. no

Yhe whole world dipped in gold

For a night

With my Tennessee rose.



Take this love I am giving

For it's truly lasting kind

The gift I hold is believing

That you will always be mine.

It's a sweet dream

That keeps me close to you

And it's a sad thing

When we're apart I'm blue.



And there are times

That only heaven knows

How I love

My Tennessee rose.



I love my Tennessee rose...
