The Rose Tattoo Lyrics - Perry Como

He wore the rose tattoo, 

To prove his love was true . . . 

But hearts can lie, so why deny, 

That roses fade and love can die . . . 

She'll wait her whole life through, 

Like fools an' dreamer's do . . . 

She'll go on caring for one who's wearing, 

The rose . . . the rose tattoo . . . 

She'll wait her whole life through, 

Like fools an' dreamer's do . . . 

She'll go on caring for one who's wearing, 

The rose . . . the rose tattoo . . .
