Lyrics:

Well, it's a sweet dream
That keeps me close to you, dear
And it's a sad thing
When we're apart I'm blue, dear
And there are times now
I thank the heavens up above
When I'm with the one that I love
Now there are diamonds
That some men love to see
And they may shine
But not bright enough for me
I wouldn't trade, no
The whole world dipped in gold
For a night with my Tennessee rose
Take this love I am giving
For it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing
That you will always be mine

Take this love I am giving
For it's truly the lasting kind
The gift I hold is believing
That you will always be mine
Well, it's a sweet dream
That keeps me close to you
And it's a sad thing
When we're apart, I'm blue
And there are times
That only heaven knows
How I love my Tennessee rose
Oh, I need my Tennessee rose
