Jim Dixon Lyr/Tune Req: The One Rose That's Left in My Heart (20) Lyr Add: THE ONE ROSE (THAT'S LEFT IN MY HEART) 29 Jul 17


THE ONE ROSE (THAT'S LEFT IN MY HEART)
Words and Music by Del Lyon and Lani McIntire.
Sheet music published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., ©1936.
As recorded by various artists (see list below).

You're as sweet as the red rose in June, dear.
I love you, adore you, I do.
Each night through Love Land we'd wander [or "we wandered"], sweetheart,
Telling love's stories anew.
Out of a blue sky a dark cloud came rolling,
Breaking my heart in two.
Don't leave me alone, for I love only you.
You're the one rose that's left in my heart.

Gene Autry in the film "Boots and Saddles" (1937).

Bing Crosby, 1937.

Larry Clinton & His Orchestra, with vocalist Bea Wain, 1937.

Lani McIntire's Hawaiians - this seems to be a "Soundie" from 1940.

[According to some library catalogs, this is only the chorus; the sheet music contains a verse that begins: "One rose lives in my heart, You alone Darling, tho' we're apart. You are still my own...." I was not able to find a recording with this verse included.]
