Emmylou Harris Lyrics
"Tennessee Rose"

(Karen Brooks - Hank DeVito)

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.

Now there are diamonds
That some men love to see
And they may shine
But not bright enough for me.

I wouldn't trade. no
Yhe whole world dipped in gold
For a night
With my Tennessee rose.

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

--- Instrumental ---

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

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
That only heaven knows
How I love
My Tennessee rose.

I love my Tennessee rose...
