A Rose inside My Heart

When I don’t see you, for a day or two

I get an anxious feeling

My mind and thoughts are all askew

I find myself daydreaming

I can’t think straight

It’s hard to concentrate

I cannot sleep

I lie here wide awake

And my feelings grow stronger

Every day that we’re apart

You’re like a flower that grows inside my heart

You’re like a daffodil in spring,

A rose in summer bloom

A pink carnation in a buttonhole

You’re my priceless heirloom

When we’re not together

I find it hard to breathe

The pain is familiar

I panic when you leave

Never to wither

Never to die

Please don’t ever say goodbye

Say you’ll always be there

By my side

Yes my feelings grow stronger

Every day that we’re apart

You’re like a flower that grows inside my heart
