One night a troubadour came from the west
He sang about the one he loved the best
With sorrow in his heart, he strolled along
cs to a world apart he sang his song

The mem'ry of a rose is with me as I wander
The mem'ry of a rose thrown from a window high
c dream that never goes is calling me out yonder
cnd so I take my way, day by day, with a mem'ry of a rose

One stolen hour, a promise made and broken
c lovely bride once said 'I Will', but not to me
The south wind when it blows brings only recollection
There's nothing else to bring, so I cling to the mem'ry of a rose

Instrumental

The south wind when it blows brings only recollection
There's nothing else to bring, so I cling to the mem'ry of a rose
