Grow that flower of love, sweet girl Life is too short to wait The deep red colour of your lips Won't always be the same Time won't wait for anyone All we have is here and now With the flap of a butterfly's wing Go on and fall in love Grow that flower of love, sweet girl Life is too short to wait Hold my hand and sway with me Under the white-gold moon Listen to the silent breeze Let it play with your hair In the maze of the waterways We won't be the same Grow that flower of love, sweet girl Life is too short to wait Lay your head on my shoulder now You make me who I am Not a soul is near us now Let's leave our cares behind We may glide and disappear The fragrance will linger on
