California Rose 1922

Where old Frisco's Golden Gate
leads out in to the sea,
I know someone's waiting there
waiting only for me.
In her eyes,
the lovelight lies,
shining brighter each day;
In your red rose garden
soon you'll hear me say:

Rose of California
Queen of all the flowers,
in sunshine's garden
spending golden hours,
It was there I found you
where sunset glows,
I'll return to you dear,
you're my California Rose.

Rose of California
Queen of all the flowers,
in sunshine's garden
spending golden hours,
It was there I found you
where sunset glows,
I'll return to you dear,
you're my California Rose.

When I reach that Golden Gate
by the ocean so blue,
We will set the wedding date
for I know you are true.
In a little bungalow
there the future will bring
maybe just a baby
then to her we'll sing:

Rose of California
Queen of all the flowers,
in sunshine's garden
spending golden hours,
It was there I found you
where sunset glows,
I'll return to you dear,
you're my California Rose.

Rose of California
Queen of all the flowers,
in sunshine's garden
spending golden hours,
It was there I found you
where sunset glows,
I'll return to you dear,
you're my California Rose.
