Lyrics
1. I remember the time when I first fell in love
I strolled through the garden with you
My attention was called to a sad little rose
It’s beauty attracted me, too
Its perfume so rare is still hovering there
And I know dear, it speaks love to you
Refrain
Bring me a rose at twilight
Kissed by the sparkling dew
Bring me a rose from love land
One that reminds me of you, dear
Each little petal tells me you’re like an angel above
Bring me a rose, a beautiful rose
That comes from your garden (your garden) of love
2. Each flower they say is an emblem of love
The pansies and violets, too
And the daisies as well, to the lovers can tell
If one to the other is true
But roses of red tell my fortune instead
So, here’s all that I want you to do
Sung here by Fred Feild:
