Ronnie Milsap - A Rose By Any Other Name Lyrics






In a garden of city streets
I watched her growing there
Prettier by far than the flowers in her own black hair
And the traffic kinda cools it
And it stops for a while
Just to watch her walk and smile her pretty smile

And I wouldn't know her even if I never heard her name
Cause no matter what they called her
To me it's all the same
Yes, a rose by any other name is still a rose

Though I know her Christian name is Maria
But a rose by any other name is still a rose
And my friend you'll know what I mean the moment you see her

Oh, yesterday we touched for the first time
It was worth the wait when I felt her cherry lips on mine
And the tears ran down her cheeks
And she whispered darling, I love you
Oh [?] even in the ghetto dreams can come true

And I wouldn't know her even if I never heard her name
Cause no matter what they called her
To me it's all the same
Yes, a rose by any other name is still a rose

Though I know her Christian name is Maria
But a rose by any other name is still a rose
And my friend you'll know what I mean the moment you see her

Oh, a rose by any other name is still a rose
And my friend you'll know what I mean the moment you see her
A rose by any other name is still a rose
And my friend you'll know what I mean the moment you see her

  1. D.... B....

    this song only went to #77 on the country charts in 1976!!!

  2. D.... J....

    I remember hearing this on KLAC, in Los Angeles in the 70s. I first found this on vinyl. 20 years later, I found the album on CD. I've always loved this song.

  3. B.... ....

    Much different vocal sound than his later hits of the 1970s and into the 1980s and 1990s. But still vintage Milsap music.

    Wow early 70's  I love it
