If people dressed in colours

According to their deeds

Then many leading men

Would dress in black

And lots of unsung heroes

Who never made a name

Would be walking round

With gold upon their backs

-------

CHORUS:

Heaven knows

You're a rose

And the love inside your heart

Just grows and grows

No one sees

I suppose

That it's something only me

And heaven knows

-------

If people were like flowers

Imagine what you'd see

Thorns in highest places

Where the roses ought to be

And down along the hedgerows

Among the grasses tall

You would find the sweetest

Roses of them all

-------

REPEAT CHORUS:

If people were like music

Some hearts would never sing

Think of all the happiness

A song like yours could bring

You fill the life I'm living

With love and harmony

And you're the sweetest song

I'll ever see

-------

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE:

That it's something only me

And heaven knows
