Well this flower is my soul

But it's not half of what I owe

I should give you every rose that 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 imposssible to pay

All the things you gave away

So 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 time

I would give you all that world if I could
