Hand of My Rose (My Sweet Rose)

I saw you out there
Looking lost in the crowd
And when I called out your name
You reached your hand out to me
Calling

Come and rescue me
I think I’m drowning out here
I need you by me
Take my hand
Bring me closer to you


From where I stood
Beautiful and fragile you looked
My sweet rose
So near I could touch you
Yet so gone I couldn’t feel you
You called out

Come and rescue me
I think I’m drowning out here
I need you by me
Take my hand
Bring me closer to you


My father used to say
If she means a lot to you
And you know she’s the one you really want
Don’t let her slip away

So with courage
I reach out for your hand
As you call out

Come and rescue me
I think I’m drowning out here
I need you by me
Take my hand
Bring me closer to you
