Paper Tulips Lyrics by Linda Hoyle

Pieces Of Me

0

In the sun, my love for you begun
Bright with every rose and tulip blossomed and then slept in the rain
I prayed that all my happy days would be spent here in your arms
Loving you, holding the rose of my love, silence in gardens of beauty
But, oh winter pierced the bud of my love
You had turned from me and paper tulips grew
Dying, I lay my heart for you to take or leave all alone
I stand a strange and desert land
All the trees I knew had broken, sighing, my heart dying for love
But you knew paper tulips grew in the garden of your heart
Crying, my arms reaching out for your kiss, knowing that you'd turned away
So I stand, only watching you, nothing grew
God alone can know that I still love you so
Silent, I keep the rose of my own perfect love in my heart
I pray that some calm sunny day
Love may blossom in your garden, colours will surround us
And love will grow and melt the winter snow with the sunshine of your smile
Loving me, holding so tender, the rose glowing and perfect in splendour
But, oh the cold has pierced the bud of my love
You had turned from me and paper tulips grew
Dying, I lay my heart for you to take or leave all alone
Take or leave alone, leave all alone, take or leave alone
