I'm Sending You Red Rose - Hank Snow

I’m far away from home out on the dashing foam

Just how far I have travelled I’ll never know

Sometimes I feel so blue and I long for home and you

But I must stay and fight the foe

So I’m sending you red roses to tell you my love is true

And I send them so you will know dear that I’m always thinking of you

Enclosed you will find my heart dear so treat it with tender care

And ev’ry time you look inside dear you’ll find my love is there

May each petal be a memory of the happiness we knew

Each thorn may tell a story of the heartache that I’ve been thro'

So I’m sending you red roses although we’re oceans apart

And remember when they fade dear that you’ll always have my heart
