Confederate Jasmine Perfume (Original)

~Confederate Jasmine is a tender plant that bears tiny, fragrant white flowers. It can only survive in the deep South. Of all flowers, Confederate Jasmine has my favorite perfume.~

**************************************
Confederate Jasmine Perfume

Come tonight down the path that runs by the river
Come softly through moonlight where the magnolias bloom
A candle is burning
The door will be open
Confederate Jasmine perfume...

Bring me a stone from the river
Bring me wild roses to wear in my hair
Bring a star from the sky
And your twinkling blue eyes
And bring your sweet kisses to share.

Play me a tune on your old mandolin
Sing me a song that you've written for me
I'll fasten red roses up in my hair and you
Rock me to sleep while I sit on your knee.

Then carry me up to the old feather bed.
Whisper soft secrets there under the sheets
Sing something sweet, some low lullabye
Hold me close to your heart while we fall fast asleep.


Dream of red roses, smooth stones and warm kisses
Dream of deep rivers and old mandolins
Dream of the stars over magnolia trees
THen dream about dreaming it over again.

When you wake before dawn in the morning
Still lost in your dreaming and surprised by the moon
You'll find the door open,
a candle still burning
Confederate Jasmine perfume...
