BEAUTIFUL ROSE...in antique sheet music

1922 Beautiful Rose Vocal duet:

Beautiful rose, beautiful rose,

Blooming so sweet, so sweet and fair.

Beautiful rose, beautiful rose,

Your fragrance fills, yes, fills the air.

Queen of the garden come to my heart

There I will keep thee never to part.

Beautiful rose, beautiful rose,

Wonderful charm your color shows

Beautiful rose, beautiful rose, beautiful rose,

stronger your charm in memory grows.

All the world over you reign serene

Every one loves you oh perfect queen.

Beautiful rose beautiful rose,

Token of love you'd ever be.

Beautiful rose, beautiful rose,

my own true love

gave you to me.

LAY MY HEAD BENEATH A ROSE

1927

ARE YOU HAPPY?

Life is a search for happiness

and some of us

look all in vain.

You went to find your happiness

and filled my heart with pain.

Who kows but maybe you were right?

But I'm still wond'ring tonight.

If you have found your Paradise

With someone else

then I'm content

Glad that I made the sacrifice,

you know how much it meant!

I only hope for your own sake

You haven't made a mistake.

Are you happy without me near?

Are you smiling to hide a tear?

Oh, how often I've wondered whether

You have forgotten me all together.

Are there moments when you regret

That you broke your vow?

Tell me truly, old pal of mine,

Are you really happy now?

I wanted to share vintage sheet music with you.

Today I purchased an orange box full, with hardly a peek.

What a joy to find such lovely pieces in color,

lettering and words.

Wish I had a piano

because I'd play them tonight

and possibly sing.

As I sort them into seasons they will be showing up

in the shop and certainly will share their

beauty on this blog.

enjoy

and enjoy a beautiful weekend.
