Red rose out of the east Tell the love I love least Who knows Red rose out of the west Tell the love I love best Love is a rose Only a rose I give you Only a song dying away Only a smile to keep in memory Until we meet another day Only a rose to whisper Blushing as roses do I bring along a smile Or a song for anyone Only a rose for you Only a rose to whisper Blushing as roses do I bring along a smile Or a song for anyone Only a rose for you
