Rosemary Blue

You tried to wake me in the morning, 

this was our moment of goodbye . . .

You asked me once, how long I'd love you,

I told you 'till the day I die . . . 

 

And now at last my life is over, 

you cannot go where I have gone . . .

I won't be there to share tomorrow,

I love you so, but life goes on . . . 

 

Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue, 

take a look outside, 

there's a world that waits for you . . .

 

Live your life, Rosemary Blue, 

put your lonely tears away, 

wait an' see, there'll come a day, 

I'll be with you . . .

 

< instrumental break >

 

We used to walk the world together, 

and found our love along the way . . .

But now you must go on without me,

we cannot live in yesterday . . . 

 

Don't bring your flowers to the church yard, 

only the past is waiting there . . .

You should be out somewhere forgetting,

wearing those flowers in your hair . . . 

 

Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue, 

take a look around, 

there's a world outside that waits for you . . .

 

Live your life, Rosemary Blue, 

put your lonely tears away, 

wait an' see, there'll come a day, 

I'll be with you . . .

 

Rosemary Blue, 

Rosemary Blue . . .
