[Verse 1]
Well, it's a sweet dream that keeps me close to you, dear
And it's a sad thing, when 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Take this love I am givin'
For it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing
That you will always be mine
[Fiddle Solo]
[Chorus]
Take this love I am givin'
For it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing
That you will always be mine
[Verse 3]
Well, it's a sweet dream that keeps me close to you
And it's a sad thing, that we're apart anew
And there are times now that only Heaven knows
How I love my Tennessee Rose
[Outro]
Only my Tennessee Rose
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
