My darling, sweet flower,

come to me,

place yourself gently into my palms.

I asked for a star, and you gave me the sky.

I asked for you, and you gave me your life.

As cloud whispers sweetly to cloud,

can we listen to the sound of their voices?

In the lap of that bright white moon,

can we listen to love stories,

and drift off to sleep?

My darling, sweet flower,

come to me,

place yourself gently into my palms.

Come to me... place yourself in my hands...

Where flower petals fall

along the shaded road,

my heart floats along with you.

As a gift of love, rain blossoms

my hands will hold out for you.

While looking into my eyes,

all the sweet rambling you do,

how did it turn into poetry?

How did you become a poet?

You are my angel of love,

shelter me beneath your wings.

Into the flute of my breath,

come and sing a melody in the night.

Find yourself within me...

My darling, sweet flower,

come to me,

place yourself gently into my palms...

Like the morning dew,

the memory of you

touches me with a cool chill.

Hey, the evening sunshine comes

upon my chest

and teases me with your fingers.

All the beauty in my dreams,

how did you gather it all and bring it to me?

All these words of love,

how did you teach them to me?

Every breeze that blows here

must carry your sweet fragrance.

Gathering the colors of the passing sky,

I want to paint them across your heart,

until our eyes are dazzled...

My darling, sweet flower,

come to me,

place yourself gently into my palms.

I asked for a star, and you gave me the sky.

I asked for you, and you gave me your life.

My darling, sweet flower,

come to me,

place yourself gently into my palms.

Come to me... place yourself in my hands...
