"Rosalie"

There's a notion between us my love
A notion of powder and dust
Somehow I was blind,
but now I can see

As you walk through this world Rosalie
Every step is one closer to me
As love we will find,
what the others can't see
Your letters in mind,
I love you Rosalie

Let the world spin you closer to me
take a chance on us Rosalie
As love we begun
to find a world that is free

I want to dance with you Rosalie
I want to dance with you Rosalie,
to the new years' just time,
to bring you closer to me
The whispers are mine,
te amro Rosalie

May 17, 1952
Dear Rosie,
the happiest Sunday of my life Rosalie:
spending a nice, quiet day with you at home alone

December 26, 1952
Dear Joe,
My darling,
I'm so in love with you
I guess you know you left me speechless when you broke the news,
Everything went round and round

How I wish days like those 12 would last forever

Ma and Pa aren't too happy about it,
but it's harder on them, for I'll be leaving

I hope that soon, my darling, God will make all our dreams come true

I've started to take a long, hard look at all my surroundings,
and at all the people I'm so crazy about,
it's going to be harder than I thought leaving all this behind.

I love you, can't stand being away from you
I love you

Now remember darling
I've been here all my life
but with my Joe at my side,
I won't be able to complain

So never take our love Rosalie
You'll never break this love Rosalie
To the new year's just time,
that's brought you closer to me
The whispers are mine,
te amro Rosalie

Your letters are mine,
I love you Rosalie
I love you Rosalie
I love you Rosalie
I love you Rosalie
