I found the sunshine and I found the blue
I found the pale moon above
As from a garden of roses so fair
I picked a blossom of love.
Chorus:
Rose of the Rio, Sweetheart of mine
You came from Heaven to me
I'll always love you, I'll always care
You're just as sweet as you can be. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hank_snow/rose_of_the_rio.html ]
And when ev'ry flower has faded and died
And stars twinkle bright in the blue
You'll still be blooming sweet as today
Rose of the Rio I love you.
I searched the rainbow and I searched the stars
Waiting and watching for you
Now that I found you I'll never let you go
So promise you'll always be true.
Chorus:
Rose of the Rio, Sweetheart of mine
You came from Heaven to me
I'll always love you, I'll always care
You're just as sweet as you can be...
