San Antonio Rose

John Denver

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live 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 in all your splendor, hear 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
Broken song, empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
For the moonlit pass by the Alamo and Rose
My Rose of San Antone (smilin' John!)

Moon in all your splendor, hear 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
Broken song, empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
For the moonlit pass by the Alamo and Rose
My Rose of San Antone'
Our rose, sweet rose of San Antone
