Back to the olden golden days
Where we met in an oldfashioned lane
In the glad days of June
With the whole world atune
I'd like to be there once again

After the roses have faded away
After their splendor has gone
After a night filled with mocking joy
After the silent dawn
After the birds fly away to the south
With their song of a summer's day
Wherever you are, you're my guiding star
When the roses have faded away

After the roses have faded away
After their splendor has gone
After a night filled with mocking joy
After the silent dawn
After the birds fly away to the south
With their song of a summer's day
Wherever you are, you're my guiding star
When the roses have faded away

Safe in the hav'n of heart's desire
And the story of love to unfold
Life would be worth the while
With the joy of your smile
To kiss you again as of old

After the roses have faded away
After their splendor has gone
After a night filled with mocking joy
After the silent dawn
After the birds fly away to the south
With their song of a summer's day
Wherever you are, you're my guiding star
When the roses have faded away

After the roses have faded away
After their splendor has gone
After a night filled with mocking joy
After the silent dawn
After the birds fly away to the south
With their song of a summer's day
Wherever you are, you're my guiding star
When the roses have faded away
