The Garden
Song For Neen
Little flower
How you've grown so fast
Seems like only yesterday
Little flower how your beauty lasts
It always will to me
Floating in around the trees
Flighty as an autumn breeze
And nothing has upset you
All the pain has left you
Little flower
Lying in the sun
How you soak up every ray
Little flower
Take it while you're young
Cause it may never shine again
When you open up I see
What a gift you've given me
And nothing has upset you
All the pain has left you
Little flower
Have you grown to be
Everything you wanted
Little flower
Is your earth complete
It always seems to be
What we give we reap and sow
Closer to me than you know
I could never let you go
I would never want to
