Emmylou Harris - Tennessee Rose Lyrics






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

    this version is much better than the one played on radio- those are much shorter

    Tennesse Rose is one of the beautiful songs Emmylou sings that really reveals the haunting quality of her gorgeous voice.

    I loved this song when I bought the 45 over 30 years ago. Haven't dug out my 45's since then abut was lucky to find it on YouTube. Still love it in the same way! Agree that it's her best. Sweet song.

  6. T.... W....

    This song holds deep meaning and love in my heart. The riffs of the fiddle in this song make the hair on my neck stand up & sends shivers down my spine. I loved it when first came out & still do. Probably my favorite song she sings. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOWZER! !!!!!!
