Well it's a sweet dream That keeps me close to you dear And it's a sad thing That we're apart I'm blue dear And there are times now I thank the heavens up above When I'm with the one that I love Now there are diamonds That some may long to see And they may shine But not bright enough for me I wouldn't take no The whole world dipped in gold For a night with my Tennessee Rose Take this love that I am giving For it's truly the lasting kind The gift I hold is believing That you will always be mine Take this love that I am giving For it's truly the lasting kind The gift I hold is believing That you will always be mine Well it's a sweet dream That keeps me close to you dear And it's a sad thing That we're apart I'm blue dear And there are times now That heaven only knows How I love my Tennessee Rose Only my Tennessee Rose
