Emmylou Harris
Tennessee Rose
[Verse 1]
Well, it's a sweet dream that keeps me close to you, dear
And it's a sad thing, when 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
Take this love I am giving
For it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing
That you will always be mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Take this love I am giving
For it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing
That you will always be mine
[Verse 3]
Well, it's a sweet dream that keeps me close to you
And it's a sad thing, when we're apart, I'm blue
And there are times now I and only heaven knows
How I love my Tennessee Rose
Only my Tennessee Rose

[Outro]
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
