This Flower

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 impossible to pay all the things you gave away
So this flower I give, will have to do

Oh, 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, 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 the world if I could
