Don’t Try to Close a Rose

[Verse 1]
They say that every thing you do
Turns out all wrong
And that you're bound to lose
And you love me too much
Take me along

[Chorus]
Ah baby, don't ever try to close a rose
After it's bloomed to the tune
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'Cos once it knows the sun, it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky

[Verse 2]
So don't you worry about me
You could never make me unhappy
'Cause we both have been touched
By the spring time sun
We already won

[Bridge]
As long as you want me
I'll be right there
But with a life time of hard times
We gotta love
Babe, we can share

[Chorus]
Ah baby, don't ever try to close a rose
After it's bloomed to the tune
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'Cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky

[Outro]
Don't ever try to close a rose
After it's bloomed to the tune
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way -
