Rosalie

There's a notion between us, my love

A notion of powder and dust

Somehow I was blind but now I can see

As you walk through this world Rosalie

Every step is one closer to me

As love we will find, what the others can't see

Your letters in mind, I love you Rosalie

Let the world spin you closer to me

Take a chance on us Rosalie

As love we begun to find a world that is free

I want to dance with you Rosalie

To the new years' just time

To bring you closer to me

The whispers are mine, te amo Rosalie

Dear Rosie

The happiest Sunday of my life Rosalie

Spending a nice, quiet day with you at home alone

December 26, 1952

Dear Joe

My darling, I'm so in love with you

I guess you know you left me speechless when you broke the news

Everything went round and round

How I wish days like those 12 would last forever

Ma and Pa aren't too happy about it

But it's harder on them, for I'll be leaving

I hope that soon, my darling

God will make all our dreams come true

I've started to take a long, hard look at all my surroundings

And at all the people I'm so crazy about

It's going to be harder than I thought leaving all this behind

I love you, can't stand being away from you

I love you

Now remember, darling

I've been here all my life

But with my Joe at my side

I won't be able to complain

So never take our love, Rosalie

You'll never break this love, Rosalie

To the new year's just time

That's brought you closer to me

The whispers are mine, te amo, Rosalie

Your letters are mine

I love you Rosalie
