I once thought love was a thing you find
Like a flawless gem in a diamond mine
Connection made, look her in the eye
Now I know, love’s a test of time
No passing fancy, no picture show
Love is a flower, gotta let it grow
I once thought love was a thing you shape
A perfect lover was something you could make
Love would sweep away trouble from the past
Now I know, love doesn’t work like that
A love that’s perfect you will never know
Love is a flower, gotta let it grow
So when you’re looking for a hand to hold
An arm around your shoulder when the nights are cold
Someone you can talk to when you’re lost and alone
There for each other, that’s how love is grown
I once thought love was a thing you made
All fire and passion that would never fade
Love goes deep, underneath the skin
Forever changing once it begins
No burning flame, no fiery glow
Love is a flower, gotta let it grow
