Lyrics

Is it necessary to say explicitly

I want you for you

To know that I do

I feel myself opening, flowering

I'm turning my face to your sunlight

And drinking you in

It's now necessary

To live in this winter

So lonely, cold, so bitter

Now spring has sprung

Opening, flowering

I'm turning my face to your sunlight

And drinking you in

Opening

Flowering

Drinking

Opening

Flowering

I'm turning my face to your sunlight

And drinking you in

Opening

Flowering

Oh
