"San Antonio Rose" lyrics

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

Broken dreams
Empty words I know
Still live in my heart
All alone
And that moonlit pass
By the Alamo
And Rose
My Rose of San Antone

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

Broken dreams
Empty words I know
Still live in my heart
All alone
And that moonlit pass
Beside the Alamo
And Rose
My Rose of San Antone
