Wildflower Song

[Verse 1]
Too many times I've fallen for a bold, flirtatious smile
My emotions had a way of breaking loose and running wild
'Till recently I reigned them in, behind a casual front
I'm older now and wiser, not so quick to fall in love

[Chorus]
Then why did I waken this morning with a song inside my head?
Why the smile upon my lips, the lift in every step?
And why, when I walked among summer wildflowers of widest range of hue
Were all the colors brightened by the memory of you?

[Verse 2]
Love, for all its newborn joy, may later take its toll
For expectations not quite met, we finally come to boil
For all the pleasures gained in love, I've been too often burned
I've sworn to live alone and keep the distance I have earned

[Chorus]
Why did I waken this morning with a song inside my head?
Why the smile upon my lips, the lift in every step?
And why, when I walked among summer wildflowers of widest range of hue
Were all the colors brightened by the memory of you?

[Verse 3]
Last night you warmed my kitchen with a crinkle of your eye
Brought my hall a comfort it has missed for a long time
And though I'm scared of letting down the barriers inside
Already you have touched my heart to melt away the ice

[Chorus]
And so I awoke this morning with a song inside my head
With a smile upon my lips, a lift in every step
And then when I walked among summer wildflowers of widest range of hue
The colors all grew brighter with the memory of you
And so I awoke this morning with a song inside my head
With a smile upon my lips, a lift in every step
And now when I walk among summer wildflowers of widest range of hue
The colors all grow brighter with the memory of you
