Written and Recorded by Hank Snow I found the sunshine and I found the blue I found the pale moon above As from a garden of roses so fair I picked a blossom of love. CHORUS Rose of the Rio, Sweetheart of mine You came from Heaven to me, I'll always love you, I'll always care, You're just as sweet as you can be, And when ev'ry flower has faded and died And stars twinkle bright in the blue, You'll still be blooming sweet as today, Rose of the Rio I love you. I searched the rainbow and I searched the stars Waiting and watching for you Now that I found you I'll never let you go So promise you'll always be true. CHORUS
