Merle Haggard - San Antonio Rose lyrics

rate me

(Bob Wills)

Deep within my heart lies a melody

A song of old San Antone

Where in dreams I lived with a memory

Beneath the stars all alone.

It was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue up above

A moonlit pass that only she would know

Still hears my broken song of love.

Moon and all your splendor know only my heart

Call back my Rose Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart

Speak once again of my love my own,

Oh, broken song empty words

I know still live in my heart all alone

For that moonlit pass by the Alamo

And Rose, my Rose of San Antone.
