Rose Room Lyrics - Live In Cologne 1961 + Benny Carter Sextet - Cannonball Adderley

I want to take you to a little room 

A little room where all the roses bloom 

I want to lead you into Nature's hall 

Where ev'ry year the roses give a ball 

They have an orchestra up in the trees 

For their musicians are the birds and bees 

And they will sing us a song 

As we are strolling along 

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing 

Where the honey bees are "A-Maying" 

There all the roses are swaying 

Dancing while the meadow brook flows 

The moon when shining is more than ever designing 

For 'tis ever then I am pining 

Pining to be sweetly reclining 

Somewhere in Roseland 

Beside a beautiful rose 

The ball is over and tulips meet 

Their little kisses are so short and sweet 

The lilies nod to the forget-me-nots 

When they're departing in their flower pots 

But all the roses with their spirits high 

Remain to love until they droop and die 

And dear, why shouldn't it be 

Just so with you and with me 

In sunny Roseland, where summer breezes are playing 

Where the honey bees are "A-Maying" 

There all the roses are swaying 

Dancing while the meadow brook flows 

The moon when shining is more than ever designing 

For 'tis ever then I am pining 

Pining to be sweetly reclining 

Somewhere in Roseland 

Beside a beautiful rose
