I was standing by a garden wall

Where the roses bloom in southern skies

You pressed one rose up to your lips

The night we spoke our last goodbye

Chorus:

Oh the rose you kissed is faded now dear

And our love is gone since we’re apart

You went away and left behind

A faded rose, a broken heart

Sometimes I wish we’d never met

That’s the last you said I recall

It’s better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all

Chorus:

Oh in dreams it seams that you are near me

And I hear you say we’ll never part

In sleep you disappear and leave

A faded rose, a broken heart

Repeat First Chorus:

Oh the rose you kissed is faded now dear…
