When just a child, I called her Rose, the flower of my heart,
But little did I know back then someday we'd have to part;
You grew up right before my eyes, the years went by so fast,
My life it has forever changed, I'm living in the past.
In a chapel by our homestead a young man waits inside,
He's waiting for my daughter, she is to be his bride;
As vows exchanged soon after, and tears soon made their way,
God did bless that joyous day I gave my Rose away.
Although the years have come and gone it seems like yesterday,
When I would hold you in my arms or sit and watch you play;
To hear you laugh, to see you smile, meant all the world to me,
Forever you will be my Rose, in my heart you'll always be.

Yes, God did bless that joyous day I gave my Rose away.
