Neath the shadow down the meadow Leaves lying on each side By the river flowers shiver Fading dying in their pride Someone straying long delaying Sad the parting down the lane I must leave you someone's saying Till the roses come again When the roses come again When the roses come again I will meet you I will greet you When the roses come again Yodel As I wander I will ponder On a happy by and by On a summer over yonder With joy to you and I Do not borrow grief or sorrow In the hours that yet remain We shall know of that tomorrow When the roses come again Sunshine over clover Blossom on the meadow wide Some I finger sweet to linger Everywhere on every side Someone's roaming in the gloaming Happy hearts that feel no pain All their sadness turned to gladness Now the roses come again
