When the Roses Bloom Again
The strolling in the gloaming where the roses were in bloomA soldier and his sweetheart brave and trueAnd their hearts were filled with song for their thoughts were of tomorrowAs she pinned a rose upon his coat of gloomDo not ask my love to linger when you know not what to sayFor duty calls your sweetheart's name againAnd your heart need not be sad that I'll be among the dyingI'll be with you when the roses bloom againWhen the roses bloom again beside the riverThe mockingbird has sung its sweet refrainAnd the days of Auld Lang SyneI'll be with you, sweetheart mineI'll be with you when the roses bloom againWith the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and lowA soldier who had fallen in the frayI am dying, I am dying, and I know I have to goBut I want to tell you before I pass awayThere's a far and distant river where the roses are in bloomA sweetheart who is waiting there for meAnd it's there I'll pray you take meI'll be faithful, don't forsake meI'll be with you when the roses bloom again
