(karen brooks/hank devito) Well it's a sweet dream That keeps me close to you dear And it's a sad thing That we're apart i'm blue dear And there are times now I thank the heavens up above When i'm with the one that i love Now there are diamonds That some may long to see And they may shine But not bright enough for me I wouldn't take no The whole world dipped in gold For a night with my tennessee rose Take this love that i am giving For it's truly the lasting kind The gift i hold is believing That you will always be mine Take this love that i am giving For it's truly the lasting kind The gift i hold is believing That you will always be mine Well it's a sweet dream That keeps me close to you dear And it's a sad thing That we're apart i'm blue dear And there are times now That heaven only knows How i love my tennessee rose Only my tennessee rose
