Subject: Lyr Add: I FOUND YOU AMONG THE ROSES
I Found You Among the Roses is by George Pitman in 1913. The Carters recorded their version in 1940. Here's the sheet Music at the Levy Collection (for some reason the links at Levy aren't working):
Once again dear it's rose time it's June time All the flowers they bloom as of yore And the robin's sweet song is singing As I walked here to greet you once more
A year has passed dear since we came here This old love of ours to renew And I found you among the roses The day I come back to you
CHORUS: I found you among the roses The day I come back to you All my gladness was there in a garden so fair Was the happiest moment I knew Your lips were the color of roses I craved them as flowers crave the dew It was out here in your rose garden Where I found you
I remember the kiss that you gave me For your cheeks like the rosebuds red Was a kiss dear that meant to fore me For all the harsh words I have said
Red roses a blooming around me I loved every one of them too For it was there dear in your rose garden Where I found you
