Subject: SBADD: His English Rose (Mick Lane)
For those interested, this is the song I sang to Jacqui and Kendall. It is set to the tune of "Red is the Rose".

His English Rose


Come over the sea, darling Jacqui come to me,
Come over the sea to your lover
You are my rose, love, and we will take our vows,
And we'll share our true love forever

CHORUS:
She is the English rose in whose heart his love does grow,
And he will be her one love for—all days;
They will sail on to where the two become as one
And share their lives now and for al—ways


Through English country side and London's streets so wide
Where we came to know our love was everlasting;
Twas there we set our sails through calm seas and for gales
And we swore we would face both to-gether

CHORUS

At anchor here this day, friends from near and far away
Our friendship and our love be with you al—ways
We wish you God's good speed, calm and tranquil seas
And love's fair winds in your sails for—all days.

CHORUS
