California Rose

Vaughn Monroe

CALIFORNIA ROSE, I SEE THE LIGHT OF LOVE

UPON YOUR FACE.

CALIFORNIA ROSE, I LIVE TO SHARE

THE WARMTH OF YOUR EMBRACE.

HANDS THAT CARESS ME,

SO SOFT TO THE TOUCH.

LIPS THAT POSSESS ME,

AND PROMISE SO MUCH.


NEAR AND FAR AWAY THEY KNOW,

ABOUT THE ROSE THAT'S IN YOUR HAIR.

LONELY LOVERS SAY

THEY'D GIVE THE WORLD IF ONLY YOU WOULD CARE.

BUT DARLING, YOU'RE MINE,

AND MY LOVE I'LL AWAYS SHARE,


FOR EVER MORE

MY CALIFORNIA ROSE.


THE ORCHESTRA PLAYS THE FULL SONG

THEN MR. MONROE SINGS;


NEAR AND FAR AWAY THEY KNOW

ABOUT THE ROSE THAT'S IN YOUR HAIR.

LONELY LOVERS SAY

THEY'D GIVE THE WORLD IF ONLY YOU WOULD CARE.

BUT DARLING, YOU'RE MINE

AND MY LOVE I'LL ALWAYS SHARE,

FOR EVER MORE

MY CALIFORNIA ROSE


CALIFORNIA ROSE

I LOVE YOU, SO.
