Don't Try To Close A Rose Lyrics - Maureen Mcgovern

They say that everything you do 

Turns out all wrong 

And that you're bound to lose 

But you love me too much 

To take me along 

Don't ever try to close a rose 

After it's bloomed to the tune 

Of a spring-time day 

It won't work anyway 

'Cause once it knows the sun, it grows 

And keeps on growin' 

Knowin' it must say goodbye 

To the field and the sky 

So, don't you worry about me 

You could never make me unhappy 

'Cause we've both been touched 

By the spring-time sun 

We've already won 

As long as you want me, 

I'll be right there 

Even with a life full of hard times, 

We've got a love 

That we can share 

Don't ever try to close a rose 

After it's bloomed to the tune 

Of a spring-time day 

It won't work anyway 

'Cause once it knows the sun, it grows 

And keeps on growin' 

Knowin' it must say goodbye 

To the field and the sky 

Don't ever try to close a rose 

After it's bloomed to the tune 

Of a spring-time day 

It won't work anyway 

(repeat and fade out)
