The postman dropped a letter in my door The address wasn`t plain, but I could see It had traveled far across the great Pacific From my Filipino Rose across the sea
The writing from her tremblin` hand was blurred The paper, it was badly stained with tears It read, They tell me you have wed another After I have longed and waited all these years
(Chorus) But I`m still prayin` that the trade winds Send you sailin` across the blue In my harbor I`ve dreamed you`ll anchor Where your lonely Filipino waits for you
I promised her that I`d return some day I told her she`d won my heart and hand I told her a lie, `cause I was lonely Far from home, a stranger in that foreign land
She wrote, I`ve watched the driftwood float on by I`ve watched the sea roll on its weary way I`ve watched the silver sails out on the ocean Hopin` you might return to me someday
The chains of love may never set you free But thru the years, as mem`ries fonder grow This broken heart will always wait for you, dear It was signed, Your lonely Filipino Rose
(Repeat Chorus)
