Rose Rose I Love You

Rose, Rose, I love you with your almond eyes Fragrant and slender 'neath the tropical skies They must cross the seas again and won't see me no more Come way back to home on a distant shore All their lifes they will remember Oriental music and girls in their arms Perfumed flowers in there tresses Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose That's what they are calling everywhere I go In my rickshaw on the street or in the cabaret "Please make way for Rose," I can hear you say All their lifes they will remember Oriental music and girls in their arms Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms Rose, Rose, I love you with an aching heart What is in the future, now we have to part? Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay Rose, Rose, I love you with your almond eyes Fragrant and slender 'neath the tropical skies They must cross the seas again and won't see me no more Come way back to home on a distant shore Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay Rose, Rose, I love you They must cross the seas again and wont see me no more Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
