Lyrics

Ah-ha, my San Antonio Rose
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone (San Antone)
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit path that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart (yeah)
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit path by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone (ah-ha)
All together now
