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
