Verse:

I'm wish -ing for the moon, build -ing cas -tles in the air,

That's why I keep on say -ing:

 

Chorus:

Ro -set -ta my Ro -set -a,

In my heart dear, There's no one but you;

You told me, that you loved me,

Nev-er leave me for some-bod-y new;

You've made my whole live a dream,

I pray you'll make it come true;

Ro -set -a, my Ro -set -a,

Please say I'm just the one dear for you.
