Petal from a faded rose

Here's a rose from my garden where the bloom of romance grows
But I'll keep on apart near my aching heart just a petal from a faded rose

Love'd be sweet in the morning when the breeze of summer blows
But will fade and die when the winter's nigh a petal from a faded rose

I will live with the roses where the stream of mem'ry flows
And each time I dream the tear will gleam on this petal from a faded rose
Just a petal from a faded rose
