Rose Rose I Love You - frankie laine

Rose Rose I love you with an aching heart

What is your future now we have to part

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya I cannot stay

Mei Kwei oh Mei Kwei for my Eastern Rose

Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes

In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret

＂Please Mei Kwei for Rose ＂ you can hear them say

All my life I shall remember

Oriental music and you in my arms

Perfumed flowers in your tresses

Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms

Rose Rose I love you with your almond eyes

Fragrant and slender ＇neath tropical sky

I must cross the seas again and never see you more

Way back to my home on a distant shore

(All my life I shall remember

(Oriental music and you in my arms

(Perfumed flowers in your tresses

(Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms

Rose Rose I leave you my ship is in the bay

Kiss me farewell now there＇s nothin＇ to say

East is East and West is West our worlds are far apart

I must leave you now but I leave my heart

Rose Rose I love you with an aching heart

What is your future now we have to part

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya I cannot stay

(Rose Rose I love you I cannot stay
