Lyrics

It's the end of a day
And I made it this far
But what will tomorrow bring for me?
Though I tried to forget
My love for you
But the thought of you just keeps on lingering
On my mind
Pretty flower (Pretty flower)
You're always, you're always
You're always, you're always on my mind
(Pretty flower)
And I think of you
I think of you all the time
It's the end of another day
And I don't think I can hold out
'Cause I'm so hungry
I'm starving for your love
I can't sleep at night
For just wanting to hold you
I see you every time
Every time I close my eyes
Pretty flower (Pretty flower)
You're always, you're always
You're always on my mind, oh girl
(Pretty flower)
Said I think of you, I think of you all the time
You can't see
You can't see
I swore you can't see
What you mean to me
You can't see
Pretty flower (Pretty flower)
You just don't know what you mean to me, oh girl
(Pretty flower)
And I know you don't quite understand
Just how much I love you
(Pretty flower)
You don't understand, you don't understand
You see I, I swear you are the only girl
(Pretty flower)
Just to watch you grow
I love the sunshine upon you
(Pretty flower)
Just to watch you grow
You see I get up
(Pretty flower)
Just to watch you grow
I'll be anything you want me to be
(Pretty flower)
I'll be your father
(Pretty flower)
I'll be your brother
(Pretty flower)
I'll be friend in a time of need, yes I will
I'm somebody that you can talk to
(Pretty flower)
Someday who can understand
(Pretty flower)
I said I'll be the one that'll understand, baby
See cause I'm the one that loves you
And nobody, nobody
Nobody can quite love
Nobody can care about you
Nobody can feel the same way
See cause I watched you grow
I've been around
I've seen where you've come from
And I know where you're heading
I'm just watching you
See you mean just that much for me, oh baby
Ooh, baby
I'll be your father
I'm your brother
I'm your brother
I'm your friend
I'm your bridge over troubled water
