Summer Rose

Summer Rose

She may be young, but her mind is older
She may be sweet, but her style is bolder
But if you push, she won’t give easy
And in my heart, she’ll always please me

She wouldn’t let you know if her sky was falling
But she won’t let you cry, if you have fallen
‘Cos she glows, like a Summer Rose
And she flows, like a Poet’s Prose
As she grows, she glows
Like a Summer Rose

There may be times, when her eyes seem distant
There may be days, when no-one’s list’-ning
But from the dark, there’ll be a rising
And to my heart, it’s no surprise

She wouldn’t let you know if her sky was falling
But she won’t let you cry if you have fallen
‘Cos she glows, like a Summer Rose
And she flows, like a Poet’s Prose
As she grows, and she glows,
Like a Summer Rose

I may be old, but my faith is with you
I may be tired, but I’ll always be true
When I’m gone, there’ll be no grieving
‘Cos in your heart, you will always see me

‘Cos you glow, like a Summer Rose
And you’ll flow, like a Poet’s Prose
As you grow, you’ll flow and you’ll glow
Like a Summer Rose
