Vaughn Monroe California Rose
CALIFORNIA ROSE, I SEE THE LIGHT OF LOVE
UPON YOUR FACE.
CALIFORNIA ROSE, I LIVE TO SHARE
THE WARMTH OF YOUR EMBRACE.
HANDS THAT CARESS ME,
SO SOFT TO THE TOUCH.
LIPS THAT POSSESS ME,
AND PROMISE SO MUCH.
NEAR AND FAR AWAY THEY KNOW,
ABOUT THE ROSE THAT'S IN YOUR HAIR.
LONELY LOVERS SAY
THEY'D GIVE THE WORLD IF ONLY YOU WOULD CARE.
BUT DARLING, YOU'RE MINE,
AND MY LOVE I'LL AWAYS SHARE,
FOR EVER MORE
MY CALIFORNIA ROSE.
THE ORCHESTRA PLAYS THE FULL SONG
THEN MR. MONROE SINGS;
NEAR AND FAR AWAY THEY KNOW
ABOUT THE ROSE THAT'S IN YOUR HAIR.
LONELY LOVERS SAY
THEY'D GIVE THE WORLD IF ONLY YOU WOULD CARE.
BUT DARLING, YOU'RE MINE
AND MY LOVE I'LL ALWAYS SHARE,
FOR EVER MORE
MY CALIFORNIA ROSE
CALIFORNIA ROSE
I LOVE YOU, SO.
