Clarence Ashley - Faded Roses lyrics

Little sweetheart, we have parted From each other we must go Many miles we stand apart, dear In this world of pain and woe Down among the faded roses I am nothing but a stem I have parted from my darling Never more to meet again But the treasures of this parting Will you meet me in that land? There you say we'll meet together When the roses bloom again Down among the faded roses I am nothing but a stem I have parted from my darling Never more to meet again But the treasures of this parting Will there be no coming day When our hearts unite together And all sorrows pa**ed away? Down among the faded roses I am nothing but a stem I have parted from my darling Never more to meet again Darling, meet me up in heaven That's my true and earnest prayer If you love me here on earth, dear I am sure you'll love me there Down among the faded roses I am nothing but a stem I have parted from my darling Never more to meet again
