A Petal from a Faded Rose - Hank Snow

Here’s a rose from my garden

Where the bloom of romance grows

But I’ll keep on a part near my aching heart

Just a petal from a faded rose

Love’d be sweet in the morning

When the breeze of summer blows

But will fade and die when the wind is nigh

Like a petal from a faded rose

Now our love is a memory

Where it’s gone nobody knows

But I’ll hold so dear as a souvenir

Just a petal from a faded rose

(I will live with the roses Where the sea of mem’ry flows)

And each time I dream then a tear will gleam

On this petal from a faded rose
