lyrics

GARDEN ROSE
I’m a’ gonna bring you flowers but I would rather plant a garden for you. I’m a’ gonna buy you chocolate but I would rather buy a house for you. When it rains then let it come down, let the light shine through. I’m a’ gonna pick you up, putting you down ain’t a plan I have for you. I can’t buy you happiness but I know how to get it free for you. If I knew then what I know now, I would have changed it all somehow. What I knew then, if I knew it now, wouldn’t have wasted my time with them. I’m a’ gonna bring you flowers but I would rather plant a garden for you.
