Roses of Picardy

歌詞

She is watching by the poplars Colinette with the sea-blue eyes She is watching and longing and waiting Where the long white roadway lies And a song stirs in the silence Like the wind in the boughs above She listens and starts and trembles For this is the first song of love Roses are shining in Picardy In the hush of the morning dew Roses are shining in Picardy But there's never a rose like you And the roses may die with the summertime And our roads may be far apart But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy That's the rose that I wear in my heart And the years roll on for ever Till the shadow veils their skies But still he loves to hold her hand And look in her sea-blue eyes And she sees the road by the poplars Where they met in the bygone years And the first song of the roses Is the last song that she hears Roses are shining in Picardy In the hush of the morning dew Roses are shining in Picardy But there's never a rose like you And the roses may die with the summertime And our roads may be far apart But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy That's the rose that I wear in my heart
