When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
But there was no-one there to hold before
I swore that I would be alone for ever more 

Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same

'Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But I am here to help you with the load

Wow look at you now 
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same

'Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow

So now we're here and now is fine
So far away from there and there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go

Wow look at us now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same

'Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million,
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow

Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
Its such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same

'Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so

Let's watch the flowers grow
Let's watch the flowers grow
