Lyrics:

                                                  
DONAHUE ROSE 
Tina (Tufts) May and Germain Brunet 

SHE WAS A SHY YOUNG GIRL SEVENTEEN AND FULL OF WONDER
A BUDDING ROSE NOT YET A FLOWER
HIS NAME WAS DONAHUE, WHEN HE SMILED HER HEART WOULD THUNDER
CHANCE MEETING ON A SUMMER BREAK IN JUNE
( they met on a summer break in June)

THEY SPENT THE NEXT TWO MONTHS LAUGHING UNDERNEATH THE SUN
AND THEIR LAST NIGHT TOGETHER CRYING UNDERNEATH THE MOON

CHORUS
HE PICKED A PURPLE FLOWER PLACED IT IN HER HAIR
AND SAID “I HATE THAT WE’LL BE FAR APART
BUT I WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH” AND SHE SAID “I DO TOO
YOU ALREADY HAVE MY HEART
BY TOMORROW I’LL BE MISSING YOU SO
MY DONAHUE ROSE”

HE WAS COLLEGE BOUND LIVIN’ CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HE PROMISED HE WOULD WRITE AND SHE WOULD CALL
THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT LAST, STILL IT ENDED WITH GOODBYE
YOUNG LOVERS LEADING VERY DIFFERENT LIVES

SOMETIMES HER HEART TAKES HER AWAY BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
ON THE MOONLIT SAND BOTH HAND IN HAND, HE’S HOLDIN’ HER AGAIN

CHORUS

LAST CHORUS
HE PICKED A PURPLE FLOWER PLACED IT IN HER HAIR
AND SAID “I HATE THAT WE’LL BE FAR APART
BUT I WANNA KEEP IN TOUCH” AND SHE SAID “I DO TOO”
SHE REMEMBERS EVERY KISS BY HEART
WHERE HE IS TODAY, HEAVEN KNOWS
DONAHUE ROSE
