Sweet As a Flower

She was sweet as a flower just starting to bloom
I knew I was in trouble when she walked into the room
How can someone so young know of love so soon

And she knew that I had seen her, I saw her looking my way
I felt like I should answer, then what should I say
Should I ask her to come with me or turn around and walk away?

She told me she was older, I knew she couldn't be
She told me she was older, but I knew that she couldn't be
'Cause her eyes made me remember the days when I was young and free

It's hard when you grow older and you're longing to be young
And your song of innocence is a song already sung
You can sing it to the sunrise, never to the setting sun
