My Little Persian Rose
Composer(s): Edgar Allan Woolf; Anatol Friedland
Performer(s): Peerless Quartet



I've seen flowers rare growing everywhere 
but I've never seen a rose like you
From your haunt if I could tear you right up on my heart 
I'd wear you and no one could ever share you, I would be so true
But roses are like love and they fade as fast 
with all the storms that blow; love can't ever last
I'll shield you from all harms I'm mad about your charms 
I'll hold you in my arms till all dangers passed

When the fall draws near and the world looks drear 
and the roses start to droop and fade
I will wrap you completely in my loving arms so neatly 
that you'll keep on blooming sweetly 
so don't be afraid when winter comes along with its frost and snows
and an icy blanket then over the world it throws
Little "Bride-Rose" have no fear, for the spring will then be near 
to bring us rosebuds, dear little Persian Rose

My little Persian Rose, nobody knows how I love you
Oh pretty flower, here in your bower, with love I'll shower you every hour
a garden just for two I'm sure will do for me and you, Dearie
I'm wild about you, can't live without you, my little Persian Rose
