Sally Timms - When The Roses Bloom Again lyrics

The strolling in the gloaming where the roses were in bloom A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true And their hearts were filled with song for their thoughts were of tomorrow As she pinned a rose upon his coat of gloom Do not ask my love to linger when you know not what to say For duty calls your sweetheart's name again And your heart need not be sad that I'll be among the dying I'll be with you when the roses bloom again When the roses bloom again beside the river The mockingbird has sung its sweet refrain And the days of Auld Lang Syne I'll be with you, sweetheart mine I'll be with you when the roses bloom again With the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and _______? A soldier who had fallen in the fray I am dying. I am dying, and I know I have to go But I want to tell you before I pa** away There's a far and distant river where the roses are in bloom A sweetheart who is waiting there for me And it's there I'll pray you take me I'll be faithful, don't forsake me I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
