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.]
