Karla Bonoff - Rose in My Garden

There's a rose in the garden
It will bloom if you're sure
That you pay close attention
but leave it room

I know your heart can be opened
And like the rose, it will bloom
if I pay close attention
But leave you room

CHORUS
I'm not telling any lies now
I need you
You know how
I think I can see how to let you grow
I've got to let you go

That's my face in the mirror
It's sometimes you that I see
We've been here for so long now
I see your soul in me

CHORUS

'cause there's a rose in the garden
It will bloom if you're sure
That you pay close attention
but leave it room
