|
I must make up my mind today |
|
What to have, what to hold |
|
A poor man's roses |
|
Or a rich man's gold |
|
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace |
|
Tho' he's callous and cold |
|
He may learn to give his heart for love |
|
Instead of buyin' it with gold |
|
Then the poor man's roses |
|
And the thrill when we kiss |
|
Will be memories of paradise |
|
That I'll never miss |
|
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight |
|
Is the hand |
|
I will hold |
|
For the rose of love means more to me |
|
More than any rich man's gold (Repeat last two verses) |
