A rose must remain with the sun and the rain

Or its lovely promise won't come true

To each his own, to each his own

And my own is you



What good is a song if the words just don't belong?

And a dream must be a dream for two

No good alone, to each his own

For me there's you



CHORUS

If a flame is to grow there must be a glow

To open each door there's a key

I need you, I know, I can't let you go

Your touch means too much to me



Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed

Or they'll never know what love can do

To each his own, I've found my own

One and only you



REPEAT FROM CHORUS
