Song by Leo Edwards & B. F. Barnett

Early one morn dear in my room, roses I found,
fresh from their bloom. As I inhaled their fragrance
so rare, I wondered who had placed them there.

One tiny rose fell from my hand.
‘Twas dying. Its beauty had fled.

On it I threw (like morning dew) some
water, and then the sweet flower said:

Somebody loves you, I know!
Somebody cares for you so.
Somebody longs to be near thee.
Somebody’s heart beats true.

Somebody’s thoughts are of you,
Wondering where you can be.
When you are not nigh, somebody will sigh.
That’s what the rose said to me.

Though days have gone, since that bright morn,
Close to my heart Dear have I borne
That rose once fair I’ve cherished with care,
My happiness some day to share
That message sweet oft I repeat
Each word brings joy to my heart
Telling anew your love was true
Though all the long days we were apart
