Robert has made his home in Ireland for over a decade. He served his apprenticeship in Country Music since he first arrived here and is now one of the top Country artists in Ireland, his popularity spreading with extensive airplay in Europe and such distant territories as Australia.
As anyone who ever attended a Robert Mizzell show will testify, Robert with his band The Country Kings put on an energy filled show. Brimming with Country flavor his shows appeal to audiences in Nashville and wherever Country Music is popular.
He is honored to have been able to record with Collin Raye this year :
"I got chatting with Collin afterwards at a gig in Helix in Dublin, and he was saying that he really enjoyed my part of the show.Then I told him that I had this song that I always liked and that I'd love to record it with him. Its called Murder on Music Row which was a hit for Alan Jackson & George Strait. Straight up Collin Said "Lets Do it" and the rest is history."
Robert currently resides near Mullingar in Westmeath, Ireland.

Rose of my Heart
ROBERT MIZZELL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Together as close as can be
But sometimes it's hard to find time in between
To tell you what you are to me
You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not faded nor falling apart
Rose in my Heart.
When sorrow holds you in her arms of clay
It's raindrops that fall from your eyes
Your smiles like the sun come to earth for a day
You brighten my blackest of skies
You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not fading nor falling apart
If you're tired, rest your head on my arm
Rose in my Heart.
So hard times are easy times, what do I care
There's nothing I'd change if I could
The tears and the laughter are things that we share
Your hand in mine makes all times good
You are the rose of my heart
You are the love of my life
A flower not fading nor falling apart
You're my harbour in life's restless storm
Rose in my heart.
Rose In My Heart
The lyrics to Robert Mizzell's song "Rose of my Heart" are a beautiful declaration of love and appreciation for a significant other. The song begins with a line that immediately captures the essence of the relationship between the two individuals. They are "the best partners the world's ever seen" and are "together as close as can be." However, despite their strong bond, the singer acknowledges that it can be difficult to find time to express their love for one another.
But then the chorus comes in, and the singer declares that their partner is the "rose of my heart" and the "love of my life." The use of the metaphor of a rose is particularly powerful, as roses are often seen as symbols of love and beauty. The singer reinforces the idea that their relationship is strong and enduring, and their partner is a "flower not faded nor falling apart."
The second verse talks about navigating the tough times together. The imagery of "sorrow holding you in her arms of clay" is particularly poignant, and the line "you brighten my blackest of skies" reinforces the idea that the singer's partner brings light to their life even in the darkest moments.
The final verse is a beautiful ode to the idea that both good times and bad are worth experiencing when shared with someone special. The singer declares that they wouldn't change a thing about their relationship, and that holding hands with their partner makes all times good.
Overall, "Rose of my Heart" is a beautiful love song that captures the essence of a strong and enduring partnership.
