Rose Rose I Love You



Performed by Frankie Laine



*Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart

What is your future now we have to part

Standing on the jetty

As the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya I can not stay



Make way, oh make way

For my eastern Rose

Men crowd in dozens, ev'rywhere she goes

In her rick'shaw on the street

Or in the cabaret

Please make way for Rose

You can hear them say



**All my life, I shall remember

Oriental music and you in muy arms

Perfumed flowers in your traces

Lotus scented breezes and swaying palms



Rose, Rose I love you

With your almond eyes

Fragrant and slender'neath tropical skies

I must cross the seas again

And never see you more

Way back to my home on a distant shore



(Repeat **)



Rose, Rose, I leave you

My ship is in the bay

Kiss me farewell now, there's nothing to say

East is east and west is west

Our worlds are far apart

I must leave you now but I leave my heart



(Repeat *)
