Rose in Her Hair

In her eyes there was moonlight and a rose in her hair
In my arms there was no one so I put her there
On her lips was a promise in my heart was a prayer
When I finally went I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

On her face there was beauty a picture to see
In her arms there was someone she loved more than me
In my mind was a vision so life-like and clear
When I finally went I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

And then I awakened it was only a dream
For she lay there beside me so gently asleep
As I kissed her in slumber I whispered a prayer
And peacefully went back to sleep with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

As I kissed her in slumber I whispered a prayer
And peacefully went back to sleep with the scent
Of the rose in her hair
