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
