You tried to wake me in the morning,
this was our moment of goodbye . . .
You asked me once, how long I'd love you,
I told you 'till the day I die . . .

And now at last my life is over,
you cannot go where I have gone . . .
I won't be there to share tomorrow,
I love you so, but life goes on . . .

Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,
take a look outside,
there's a world that waits for you . . .

Live your life, Rosemary Blue,
put your lonely tears away,
wait an' see, there'll come a day,
I'll be with you . . .

< instrumental break >

We used to walk the world together,
and found our love along the way . . .
But now you must go on without me,
we cannot live in yesterday . . .

Don't bring your flowers to the church yard,
only the past is waiting there . . .
You should be out somewhere forgetting,
wearing those flowers in your hair . . .

Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,
take a look around,
there's a world outside that waits for you . . .

Live your life, Rosemary Blue,
put your lonely tears away,
wait an' see, there'll come a day,
I'll be with you . . .

Rosemary Blue,
Rosemary Blue . . .
