When The Roses Bloom Again

Lyrics for When The Roses Bloom Again

They were strolling in the gloaming Where the roses were in bloom A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true And their hearts were filled with sorrow For their thoughts were of tomorrow As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue Do not ask me, love, to linger For you know not what to say For duty calls your sweetheart's name again And your heart need not be sighing If I be among the dying I'll be with you when the roses bloom again When the roses bloom again beside the river And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain In the days of Auld Lang Syne I'll be with you, sweetheart mine I'll be with you when the roses bloom again With the rattle of the battle Came a whisper soft and low A soldier who had fallen in the fray I am dying, I am dying, and I know I have to go But I wanna tell you before I pass away There's a far and distant river Where the roses are in bloom A sweetheart who is waiting there for me And it's there I pray you take me I've been faithful, don't forsake me I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
