They say that everything you do
|
Turns out all wrong
|
And that you're bound to lose
|
But you love me too much
|
To take me along
|
|
Don't ever try to close a rose
|
After it's bloomed to the tune
|
Of a spring-time day
|
It won't work anyway
|
'Cause once it knows the sun, it grows
|
And keeps on growin'
|
Knowin' it must say goodbye
|
To the field and the sky
|
|
So, don't you worry about me
|
You could never make me unhappy
|
'Cause we've both been touched
|
By the spring-time sun
|
We've already won
|
|
As long as you want me,
|
I'll be right there
|
Even with a life full of hard times,
|
We've got a love
|
That we can share
|
|
Don't ever try to close a rose
|
After it's bloomed to the tune
|
Of a spring-time day
|
It won't work anyway
|
'Cause once it knows the sun, it grows
|
And keeps on growin'
|
Knowin' it must say goodbye
|
To the field and the sky
|
|
Don't ever try to close a rose
|
After it's bloomed to the tune
|
Of a spring-time day
|
It won't work anyway
|
(repeat and fade out)
