Painted, Tainted, Rose:Al Martino.
#15 in '63.

#1.
                     
She was a wild and lovely rose.
                   .      . 
Oh, how I loved her, heav...en knows.
                                 
But though my heart was true, it would never do,
                          . 
Party life was what she chose.
#2.
                      
Last night I saw my lovely rose.
                     
All painted up in fan...cy  clothes.
                              
Her eyes had lost their spark, the years
            
had left their mark,
                         
She's just a paint..ed, taint..ed rose.

#3.
                                 
But though my heart was true, it would never do,
                          . 
Party life was what she chose.
                             
Her eyes had lost their spark, the years
                                           
had left their mark. She's just a painted, tainted, rose.

REPEAT#3.
