"San Antonio Rose" lyrics

"San Antonio Rose"

Oh, San Antone

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
Well, it was there I found, beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
That moonlit sky that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor, know only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Oh, broken song, empty words, I know
Still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit path beside the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone, yeah

Why, it's that old piano-pounder, the good Commander (Sssah)

Deep within my heart there lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
Well, it was there that I found, beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
That moonlit path that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love, yeah

Moon in all your splendor, know only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Whoa, broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
Well, at that moonlit path beside the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
