DEEP WITHIN MY HEART LIES A MELODY,
A SONG OF OLD SAN ANTONE.
WHERE IN DREAMS I LIVE WITH A MEMORY,
BENEATH THE STARS ALL ALONE.
IT WAS THERE I FOUND BESIDE THE ALAMO,
ENCHANTMENT STRANGE AS THE BLUE UP ABOVE.
A MOONLIT PATH ONLY SHE WOULD KNOW,
STILL HEARS MY BROKEN SONG OF LOVE.
MOON IN ALL YOUR SPLENDOR,
KNOWS ONLY MY HEART.
CALL BACK MY ROSE, ROSE OF SAN ANTONE.
LIPS SO SWEET AND TENDER,
LIKE PETALS FALLING APART,
SPEAK ONCE AGAIN OF MY LOVE, MY OWN.
MOON IN ALL YOUR SPLENDOR,
KNOWS ONLY MY HEART.
CALL BACK MY ROSE, ROSE OF SAN ANTONE.
LIPS SO SWEET AND TENDER,
LIKE PETALS FALLING APART,
SPEAK ONCE AGAIN OF MY LOVE, MY OWN.
BROKEN SONG, EMPTY WORDS I KNOW,
STILL LIVE IN MY HEART ALL ALONE.
FOR THAT MOONLIT PATH BY THE ALAMO,
AND ROSE, MY ROSE OF SAN ANTONE.
BROKEN SONG, EMPTY WORDS I KNOW,
STILL LIVE IN MY HEART ALL ALONE.
FOR THAT MOONLIT PATH BY THE ALAMO,
AND ROSE, MY ROSE OF SAN ANTONE.
WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY BOB WILLS 100 YEARS AFTER THE ALAMO FELL SILENT.
"SAFE IN THE ARMS OF GOD"
THE OLD OAK GRACES THE COURTYARD OF THE ALAMO. THE WISHING WELL WAS ALSO WITNESS TO THE FALL OF THE ALAMO. UNDER THIS TREE WAS WHERE "THE TEXAS MASONS" WERE ALL BURNED BY GENERAL SANTA ANNA.
