Ricky Skaggs - San Antonio Rose Lyrics

(Bob Wills)

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I lived with a memory
Beneath the stars all olone.

It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love.

Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.

Broken song empty words I know
Still rings in my heart all alone
And that moonlit path by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone.

--- Instrumental ---

Moon and all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.

Broken song empty words I know
Still rings in my heart all alone
And that moonlit path by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone.

Oh, San Antone...
