Lyrics The Rosary - Perry Como

The hours I spent with Thee, Dear Heart!
Or, as a string of pearls to Thee,
I count them over, every one apart,
My rosary, my rosary .. .
Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer,
To still a heart in absence wrung,
I tell each bead unto the end,
And there a cross is hung .. .
O' memories that bless and burn,
O' barren gain and bitter loss,
I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn,
To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart,
To kiss the cross .. .
I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn,
To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart,
To kiss the cross ... (to kiss the cross)
