In the sun my love for you begun Bright with every rose and tulip blossom 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 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 alone I stand a strange and desert land All the trees I knew had broken, sighing my heart Dying for love But you know Paper tulips grew in the garden of our 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 Surroud 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 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
