Well, this flower is my soul but it's not half of what I owe   I should give you every rose that ever grew   But take this one here for a start and you can keep it in your heart   I have everything I need because of you      Well, if my life was long enough to pack up everything I love   I would do just that and give it all to you   But it's impossible to pay all the things you gave away   So this flower I give, will have to do      Oh, this flower is my soul but it's not half of what I owe   I should give you every rose that ever grew   But take this one here for a start and you can keep it in your heart   I have everything I need because of you      Well, all the flowers growing wild for ten thousand lonely miles   It's not near enough to give you what I should   So I will owe you for a while, maybe longer than my time   I would give you all the world if I could      So this flower is my soul but it's not half of what I owe   I should give you every rose that ever grew   But take this one here for a start and you can keep it in your heart   I have everything I need because of you   I have everything I need because of you
