Lyrics
[verse]
I hear the whippoorwill calling in the pine
Calling like it knows this heart of mine
The river's whisperin' a name into the breeze
Could it be he's thinkin' of me too, under these trees
[chorus]
Rosalie, Rosalie, that's the name I hear
Rosalie, Rosalie, echoing so clear
My heart keeps singing soft here in the night
Rosalie, waiting for the morning light
[verse]
The old porch swing still creaks the way it did
When we were young and love was never hid
Now I sit here wondering where he's gone
And if he hears this same old lonesome song
[chorus]
Rosalie, Rosalie, that's the name I hear
Rosalie, Rosalie, echoing so clear
My heart keeps singing soft here in the night
Rosalie, waiting for the morning light
[bridge]
Someday soon he'll come home down that road
And every worry that I've carried, I'll unload
Till then I'll listen to the whippoorwill
And hope this feeling in my heart stays still
[chorus]
Rosalie, Rosalie, that's the name I hear
Rosalie, Rosalie, echoing so clear
My heart keeps singing soft here in the night
Rosalie, waiting for the morning light
