I met her by the river of the roses
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
I left her by the river of the roses
With tear-dimmed eyes she whispered I'll miss you so

All the roses have faded since we've been apart
But the one rose she gave me will always bloom within my heart
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net |]
And someday by the river of the roses
I don't know when but we'll meet again I know
She's waiting by the river of the roses
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
[ steel ]
All the roses have faded...
