I'm waiting by the garden wall Where roses bloom neath summer skies You pressed one rose bud to you lips The night we said our last good-bye The rose you kissed is faded now dear And love is gone since we're apart You went your way and left me behind A faded rose a broken heart I never knew that love so sweet Could prove so bitter in the end I've tried to smile but all in vain For love is dead I can't pretend Someday your heart will break and then dear You'll want me back and tears will start When you recall the one you left A faded rose a broken heart
