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
'Cause it was there I found beside the Alamo

And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo
And rose my Rose in San Antone
[Chorus]
Moon and all your splendor, knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song and empty words, I know
Still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo
And rose my Rose of San Antone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Well now moon and all your splendor, knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song and empty words, I know
Still live in my heart all alone
And that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And rose my Rose of San Antone
Rose my Rose of San Antone
Rose my Rose of San Antone
