Lyrics

  1. Softly the pale blossoms fall
    Here by the old garden wall
    Lonely am I, for you I sigh
    While in the moonlight I call

Chorus
Dear one, my dear one
Words cannot tell how I love you
Dear one, my dear one
True as the blue skies above you
You are a rose blooming in my heart
That shall not die even tho’ we part
And some day, Dear one, my dear one
We’ll be together forever

  1. There is a blue singing sea
    Calling to you and to me
    Sweetheart of dreams
    Our love star gleams
    ‘Twill guide us eternally
