Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone,
Where in dreams I live with a memory,
Beneath the stars all alone.
Well, it was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above,
For that moonlit pass that only he would know
Still hears my broken song of love.
Moon in all your splendor,
Known only to my heart,
Call back my rose,
Rose of San Antone!
Lips so sweet and tender,
Like petals fallinapart,
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo,
And rose my rose of San Antone!
Broken song, empty words I know,
Still live in my heart all alone,
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo,
And rose my rose of San Antone
And rose my rose of San Antone
And rose my rose of San Antone!
I'm coming home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter
Telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me
Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me
If I don't see a ribbon around the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love she holds the key
Simple yellow ribbon what I need to set me free
I've wrote and told her please
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons around the old oak tree
i keep a close watch on this heart of mine
i keep my eyes wide open all the time.
i keep the ends out for the tie that binds
because you're mine,
i walk the line
i find it very, very easy to be true
i find myself alone when each day is through
yes, i'll admit i'm a fool for you
because you're mine,
i walk the line
as sure as night is dark and day is light
i keep you on my mind both day and night
and happiness i've known proves that it's right
because you're mine,
i walk the line
you've got a way to keep me on your side
you give me cause for love that i can't hide
for you i know i'd even try to turn the tide
because you're mine,
i walk the line
i keep a close watch on this heart of mine
i keep my eyes wide open all the time.
i keep the ends out for the tie that binds
because you're mine,
i walk the line
