My Filipino Rose (我的菲律宾玫瑰) - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
The postman dropped the letter in my door[00:00:11]
The address wasn't plain but I could see[00:00:16]
It had travelled far across the great pacific[00:00:21]
From my Filipino rose across the sea[00:00:25]
The writing of her trembling hand was blurred[00:00:31]
The paper it was sadly stained with tears[00:00:35]
It read to tell me you have found another[00:00:40]
After I have longed and waited all these years[00:00:45]
But I'm still praying that the trade wind[00:00:49]
Sends you sailing across the blue[00:00:54]
In my harbor I dream you'll anchor[00:00:59]
Where your lonely Filipino waits for you[00:01:03]
I have promised her that I'd return someday[00:01:09]
I told her she won my heart and hand[00:01:13]
I told her a lie cause I was lonely[00:01:18]
Far from home a stranger in that foreign land[00:01:23]
She wrote I watched the driftwood float on by[00:01:28]
I watched the sea alone in its weary way[00:01:32]
I watched the silver sails out on the ocean[00:01:37]
Hoping you'd might return to me someday[00:01:42]
The chains of love may never set me free[00:01:47]
But through the years these mem'ries fondly grow[00:01:51]
This broken heart will always wait for you dear[00:01:56]
It was signed your lonely Filipino Rose[00:02:01]
But I'm still prayin' that the trade winds[00:02:05]
Send you sailin' across the blue[00:02:10]
In my harbor I've dreamed you'll anchor[00:02:15]
Where your lonely filipino waits for you[00:02:20]
