Lyric

More than a bouquet of burning red

I’d give you a single pale pink thread

A petal falling through the silent air

Like a heavy tear, a silent prayer

Though there’s no wind to push it from the bough

It’s letting go, it’s drifting now

I never wanted to cause you pain

My only flower in the pouring rain

Until the day we meet again

Don't let the sorrow start to reign

Wherever you go, whatever you do

I want the beauty to bloom in you

Please don't cry, keep your head up high

Underneath the vast and changing sky

Bloom with a grace that the world can see

Even when you’re far away from me

I’ll hold your image, pure and bright

Until we meet in the morning light

I don’t want to leave, I want to stay

More than anyone could ever say

But if I’m selfish and I clip your wings

If I steal the dreams that the future brings

The waves of regret would surely rise

And drown the light within your eyes

I want to protect you, I want to be near

But I have to leave my heartbeat here

Watch me go as I walk away

Through the shifting light of a lonely day

Show me the smile that I’ll always recall

Before the evening shadows start to fall

My only flower, so fragile and rare

I’m leaving you to the open air

The love I have is a restless thing

But I’ll wait for the song that the seasons bring

Please don't cry, keep your head up high

Underneath the vast and changing sky

Bloom with a grace that the world can see

Even when you’re far away from me

Show me that smile, one last time

A memory so sweet and so sublime

Not a red bouquet

Just one pale pink leaf

Bloom for me

I'll remember

Don't cry

Wait for me
