The Glenn Miller Orchestra — The Mem'ry Of A Rose lyrics

Lyrics

The mem’ry of a rose
Is with me as I wander
The mem’ry of a rose
She gave me long ago
As evening comes and goes
I dream she waits out yonder
And so I take my way
Day by day
With the mem’ry of a rose
One stolen hour, a promise broken carelessly
A lovely bride once said «I will», but not to me…
The southwind when it blows
Brings only recollection
There’s nothing else to bring
So I cling
To the mem’ry of a rose…
