[G] In her eyes there was moonlight, and a rose in her [D] hair,
In my arms there was no one, so I put her [G] there;
On her lips was a promise, [G7] in my heart was a [C] prayer,
When I finally [G] went, I went home with the [D] scent
Of the rose in her [G] hair. [C]

[G] In her face there was beauty, a picture to [D] see,
In her arms there was someone, she loved more then [G] me;
In my mind was a vision, [G7] so lifelike and [C] clear,
When I finally [G] went I went home with the [D] scent
Of the rose in her [G] hair. [C]

[G] And when I awakened, it was only a [D] dream,
For she lay there beside me, so gently [G] asleep;
As I kissed her in slumber, [G7] I whispered a [C] prayer,
And peacefully [G] went back to sleep with the [D] scent
Of the rose in her [G] hair.

Yes, I kissed her in slumber, [G7] and I whispered a [C] prayer,
And peacefully [G] went back, to sleep with the [D] scent
Of the rose in her [G] hair.
