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
