Frankie Laine - Rose, Rose I Love You lyrics

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart What is your future, now we have to part? Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret "Please make way for Rose," you can hear them say All my life I shall remember Oriental music and you in my arms Perfumed flowers in your tresses Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms Rose, Rose, I love you with your almond eyes Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies I must cross the seas again and never see you more Way back to my home on a distant shore (All my life I shall remember) (Oriental music and you in my arms) (Perfumed flowers in your tresses) (Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms) Rose, Rose, I leave you, my ship is in the bay Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart I must leave you now but I leave my heart Rose, Rose, I love you with an aching heart What is your future, now we have to part? Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay (Rose, Rose, I love you, I cannot stay)
