She's a late blooming flower
In the shade of the trees
Her eyes will entrance you
The way she does me

She's afraid of the dark
Scared of what she can't see
Doesn't understand the mysteries
Afraid of who she could be

Harsh words fall down on her
Like a cold stinging rain
Her salty warm tears
Full of anger and pain

Wipe away the hot tears
with the corner of my sleeve
They don't understand you…
They don't understand me

Don't give up, just listen to me
Life is full of the sweet
We can move past the pain
Leave behind misery and still remain
just the same

Dry your eyes my sweet love
Tears will do you no good
Stand up in self-love
Be the person you should

Don't follow me here
To this darkness inside
Once you're here
There's nowhere to hide

Every time I look into your face
I see the little girl there
You're working so hard to replace
You can never go back, and you never should

Stand up my dear
I knew that you could
Life is full of the sweet
Be the person you should

If only I could, I would
Hold you to the sky
Warm your face with the sun
Watch the stars in your eyes

But I found on my own road
We make our own destinies
We chose our own paths
That's the way it should be

Dry your eyes my sweet girl
Tears will do you no good
Life is full of the sweet
Be the person you should
