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
