Here is a rose from the garden where the flower of romance grows

And I'll keep on apart near my aching heart just a petal from a faded rose



Love'd be sweet in the evening when the breeze of summer blows

But will fade an die when the winter's nigh like a petal from a faded rose

[ guitar ]

Now our love is a mem'ry where it's gone not only knows

But I'll hold so dear as a souvenir just a petal from a faded rose

Just a petal from a faded rose
