Just Like The Rose 1909

In a garden fair a lily rare
was loved by a blushing rose.
They knew no woe
he loved her so,
with love that a flower knows,
Until one day from o'er the way
a hand plucked the lily fair,
the rose sighed and sighed
'til one day it died.
Nobody seemed to care.

Just like the rose, dear,
I loved you.
Like the lily they stole you away.
Just like the rose I adored you,
worshipped you night and day,
Tonight all alone I am sighing,
sighing for sweet repose;
just like the rose, my love's dying,
dying just like the rose.

In a garden fair I wandered there,
sweet memories of the past.
Came back to me so tenderly,
would if they could only last,
The rose that sighed,
and long since died,
seemed fresh from the morning dew,
Then close to my breast,
the sweet flow'r I pressed,
and cried alas for you.

Just like the rose, dear,
I loved you.
Like the lily they stole you away.
Just like the rose I adored you,
worshipped you night and day,
Tonight all alone I am sighing,
sighing for sweet repose;
just like the rose, my love's dying,
dying just like the rose.
