Rose, Rose I Love You

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 won't see me no more
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
