Emmylou Harris Tennessee Rose Lyrics

Tennessee Rose Lyrics

(Karen Brooks/Hank DeVito)

Well it`s a  sweet dream 
That keeps me close to you dear 
And it`s a sad thing 
That we`re apart I`m blue dear 
And there are times now 
I thank the heavens up above 

When I`m with the one that I love 
Now there are diamonds 
That some may long to  see 
And they may shine 
But not bright enough for me 
I wouldn`t take no 

The whole world dipped in gold 
For a night with my Tennessee Rose 
Take this love that I am giving 
For it`s truly the lasting kind 
The gift I hold is believing 
That you will always be mine 

Take this love that I am giving 
For it`s truly the lasting kind 
The gift I hold is believing 
That you will always be mine 
Well it`s a  sweet dream 
That keeps me close to you dear 

And it`s a sad thing 
That we`re apart I`m blue dear 
And there are times now 
That heaven only knows 
How I love my Tennessee Rose 
Only my Tennessee Rose
