Perry Como - The Rosary lyrics

Perry Como Miscellaneous The Rosary The hours I spent with Thee, Dear Heart! Or, as a string of pearls to Thee I count them over, every one apart My rosary, my rosary . . Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer To still a heart in absence wrung I tell each bead unto the end And there a cross is hung . . O' memories that bless and burn O' barren gain and bitter loss I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart To kiss the cross . . I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart To kiss the cross . . . ( to kiss the cross ) Words and Music by Robert Cameron Rogers and Ethelbert Nevin
