Rose Room

I want to take you to a little room

A little room where all the roses bloom

I want to lead you into Nature's hall

Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball

They have an orchestra up in the trees

For their musicians are the birds and bees

And they will sing us a song

As we are strolling along

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing

Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"

There all the roses are swaying

Dancing while the meadow brook flows

The moon when shining is more than ever designing

For 'tis ever then I am pining

Pining to be sweetly reclining

Somewhere in Roseland

Beside a beautiful rose

The ball is over and tulips meet

Their little kisses are so short and sweet

The lilies nod to the forget-me-nots

When they're departing in their flower pots

But all the roses with their spirits high

Remain to love until they droop and die

And dear, why shouldn't it be

Just so with you and with me

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing

Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"

There all the roses are swaying

Dancing while the meadow brook flows

The moon when shining is more than ever designing

For 'tis ever then I am pining

Pining to be sweetly reclining

Somewhere in Roseland

Beside a beautiful rose
