The Rose in Her Hair Lyrics

In her eyes there was moonlight, and a rose in her hair
In my arms there was no one, so I just put her there
On her lips was a promise, in my heart was a prayer
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair
Oh-de-lay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-dee
Oh-de-lay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-dee
Oh-de-lay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-dee
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair
[Instrumental]

In her eyes there was moonlight, and a rose in her hair
In my arms there was no one, so I just put her there
On her lips was a promise, in my heart was a prayer
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair

Oh-de-lay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-dee
Oh-de-lay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-dee
Oh-de-lay-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-dee
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair.
