Rose Room
Betty Hutton Lyrics

I want to take you to a little room
I desire to show you a place that is small but significant

A little room where all the roses bloom
It's a small place, but there is an abundance of blooming roses

I want to lead you into Nature's hall
I would like to take you to a part of nature that is grand and awe-inspiring

Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball
There is an annual celebration where the roses seem to join in the festivities

They have an orchestra up in the trees
The birds and bees have an instrumental role in this particular event

For their musicians are the birds and bees
As the birds and bees work in harmony, they become the musical performers

And they will sing us a song
As we walk hand in hand amidst the roses, nature will provide us with a lovely and romantic musical accompaniment

As we are strolling along
While moving at our leisurely pace, we will observe and experience the splendor surrounding us

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing
In this area of the world, the weather is nice and warm with a refreshing breeze in the air

Where the honey bees are "A-Maying"
The honey bees are very busy gathering nectar from the surrounding flowers

There all the roses are swaying
The roses move gently in the breeze and look like they are dancing

Dancing while the meadow brook flows
The little stream nearby plays an active role and provides a soothing accompaniment to the swaying roses

The moon when shining is more than ever designing
On a beautiful, clear night when the Moon is full, it seems to have a design element that is beyond compare

For 'tis ever then I am pining
When I see this beautiful scene, I feel a sense of longing and desire

Pining to be sweetly reclining
I would love nothing more than to find a comfortable spot to rest and enjoy the beautiful nature around me

Somewhere in Roseland
Anywhere in this beautiful area would be perfectly fine as we are surrounded by so much natural beauty

Beside a beautiful rose
It would be wonderful to rest along a beautiful rose enjoying the fragrance and beauty

The ball is over and tulips meet
As the lovely scene winds down, the tulips greet one another

Their little kisses are so short and sweet
As they part ways, the tulips share a small moment of love

The lilies nod to the forget-me-nots
As the evening winds down, the lilies bid farewell to the forget-me-nots

When they're departing in their flower pots
As they prepare to travel on their respective journeys, the various flowers say goodbye

But all the roses with their spirits high
Despite the evening coming to an end, the roses remain full of excitement and vigor

Remain to love until they droop and die
The roses continue to be beautiful and in love until they finally lose the energy to carry on

And dear, why shouldn't it be
With everything we have experienced and seen, there is no reason why we can't feel the same way

Just so with you and with me
You and I are capable of experiencing the same loving feelings as the roses around us
