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 -
