San Antonio Rose Lyrics

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

Cause it was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue up above

And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo and rose my Rose of San Antone

Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart

Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart

Speak once again of my love my own

Broken song 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

[ guitar - steel - fiddle ]

Well now moon and all your splendor...

Rose my Rose of San Antone rose my Rose of San Antone
