Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Rose of My Heart

Rose of My Heart

Rose of My Heart
(Hugh Moffatt)

We're the best partners this world's ever seen,
Together as close as can be.
Sometimes it's hard to find time in between,
To tell you what you are to me.

cho: You are the rose of my heart,
     You are the love of my life.
     A flower not fading nor falling apart,
     If you're tired, rest your head on my arm.
     Rose of my heart.

When sorrow holds you in her arms of clay,
It's rain drops that fall from your eyes.
Your smile's like the sun come to earth for a day,
You brighten my blackest of skies.

You are the rose of my heart,
You are the love of my life.
A flower not fading nor falling apart,
If you're cold, let my love make you warm.
Rose of my heart.

So hard times or easy times, what do I care,
There's nothing I'd change if I could.
The tears and the laughter are things that we share,
Your hand in mine makes all times good.

You are the rose of my heart,
You are the love of my life.
A flower not fading nor falling apart,
You're my harbor in life's restless storm.Rose of my heart.

Rose of my heart.

( sung as a duet with his sister, Katy Moffatt, on Philo 1127, 1989.)
