Roses of Picardy Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

She is watching by the poplars
Colinette with the sea-blue eyes
She is watching and longing, and waiting
Where the long white roadway lies And a song stirs in the silence
As the wind in the boughs above
She listens and starts and trembles
′Tis the first little song of love


Roses are shining in Picardy
In the hush of the silver dew
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy
But there′s never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime
And our roads may be far apart
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
