Cactus Flower

Tell me how the likes of you could bloom in such a place

I'm in awe of your wonder, my livin' proof of grace

You don't demand half the care that all the others do

Cactus flower, never seen another thing like you

You're a beauty, cactus flower, drop of rain in the driest hour

You're a gem to behold, my desert rose

Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear

Cactus flower, I'll carry your memory anywhere

She's a stubborn sunburnt soul swayin' in the summer wind

Long and lean and somewhat green, barefoot on the sunburnt sand

She bathes on sunshine, dances beneath the desert moon

Cactus flower, I'm just as crazy for you

You're a beauty, cactus flower, drop of rain in the driest hour

You're a gem to behold, my desert rose

Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear

Cactus flower, I'll follow your beauty anywhere

Cactus flower, I'd follow your beauty anywhere
