Tennessee Rose

Well, it's a sweet dream That keeps me close to you, dear And it's a sad thing When we're apart I'm blue, dear And there are times now I thank the heavens up above When I'm with the one that I love Now there are diamonds That some men love to see And they may shine But not bright enough for me I wouldn't trade, no The whole world dipped in gold For a night with my Tennessee rose Take this love I am giving For it's truly the lasting kind The gift I hold is believing That you will always be mine Take this love I am giving For it's truly the lasting kind The gift I hold is believing That you will always be mine Well, it's a sweet dream That keeps me close to you And it's a sad thing When we're apart, I'm blue And there are times That only heaven knows How I love my Tennessee rose Oh, I need my Tennessee rose
