well this flower is my soul
but it's not half of what i owe
i should give you every rose that i ever grew
but take this one here for a start
and you can keep it in your heart
i have everything i need because of you
well if my life was long enough
to pack up everything i love
i would do just that and give it all to you
but it's impossible to pay
all the things that you gave away
si this flower i give will have to do
all the flowers growing wild
for ten thousand lonely miles
it's not near enough to give you what i should
so i will owe you for a while
maybe longer than my life
i would give you all the world if i could |
