It's You Only You That I Love
Hank Snow · Legendary [BMG International] [2003]
Hank Snow & Anita Carter
We met in the garden of roses
One night when the moon was new
We kissed as the breeze whispered through the trees
I love you, I love only you.
You're as sweet as the dew on the roses
True as the new moon above
Forever and ever my darling
It's you, only you that I love.
--- Instrumental ---
We promised to meet in the garden again
When the moon was new
But they came between all our hopes and dreams
The heaven was lonely for you.
Now I walk alone in the garden
Each night when the moon is new
And I cry as the breeze whisperes through the trees
I love you, I love only you.
My tears make the dew on the roses
Blue as the new moon above
Forever and ever my darling
It's you, only you that I love...
