You tried to wake me in the morning,

this was our moment of goodbye . . .

You asked me once, how long I'd love you,

I told you 'till the day I die . . .

And now at last my life is over,

you cannot go where I have gone . . .

I won't be there to share tomorrow,

I love you so, but life goes on . . .

Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,

take a look outside,

there's a world that waits for you . . .

Live your life, Rosemary Blue,

put your lonely tears away,

wait an' see, there'll come a day,

I'll be with you . . .

We used to walk the world together,

and found our love along the way . . .

But now you must go on without me,

we cannot live in yesterday . . .

Don't bring your flowers to the church yard,

only the past is waiting there . . .

You should be out somewhere forgetting,

wearing those flowers in your hair . . .

Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,

take a look around,

there's a world outside that waits for you . . .

Live your life, Rosemary Blue,

put your lonely tears away,

wait an' see, there'll come a day,

I'll be with you . . .

Rosemary Blue,

Rosemary Blue . . .
