Got a Pretty Flower

by Michael C. Shivar

Got a pretty flower, found it in my neighbors yard Thought about giving it to you but I'm finding it kind of hard There is such a crowd around you and I just can't seem to reach you Wondering if I can get you to look this way I'm hoping you're going to be mine one of these days No matter how hard I've tried I can't seem to catch your eye And I just can't think of anything else that I can do This little flower is looking grand It would look better if you were holding it in your hand Reminds me of times I've sat around with nothing to do And all the hours I've spent just thinking of you This little flower wants some love, a little love from you Got a pretty flower, found it in my neighbors yard Thought about giving it to you but I'm finding it kind of hard Because I don't believe you understand That this little flower is beginning to wilt away This little flower was looking grand It would have looked better if you were holding it in your hand Reminds me of times I've sat around with nothing to do And all the hours I've spent thinking of you This flower just needed some love, a little love from you Don't you think this little flower Could have been a love that last forever But I couldn't get you to see That it may have really mattered This little flower is looking grand Buried six feet underneath a bed of sand And maybe then you'll understand This little flower may grow to bloom again *no insight listed as of yet
