I write this letter
To tell you I found someone new
To tell you I tried
But there wasn't a thing I could do

When I first met her
This girl wasn't part of my plan
I hope you will
But I know that you won't understand

My dear Rose
I have to tell you I love her
My dear Rose
I can't stop thinking about her

I should have told you this
Before it got out of hand
I hope you will
But I know that you won't understand

I wasn't looking
For anyone other than you
She isn't someone
That I picked right out of the blue

I'll write again
In a couple of weeks if I can
I hope you will
But I know that you won't understand

My dear Rose
I have to tell you I love her
My dear Rose
I can't stop thinking about her

I should have told you this
Before it got out of hand
I hope you will
But I know that you won't understand

My dear Rose
I have to tell you I love her
My dear Rose
I can't stop thinking about her

My dear Rose
I have to tell you I love her
My dear Rose
I can't stop thinking about her

My dear Rose
I have to tell you I love her
