_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] If [Eb] I were a desert flower, _ _ all winter long I'd paint and color.
_ [Dm] But [Fm] spring would make me [Eb] sing, my [Ab] voice would ring as [F] tiny buds [Bb] begin to [G] bloom.
And [Cm] spring I'd blossom, [Eb] won't forget the winter's glow.
[Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ If I were a brook of water, _ [Bb] I'd be kissed by the frost along my borders.
[Eb] _ [Bb] But [Fm] spring would make [Eb] me sing, my [Ab] voice would ring as [F] I'd release my [Bb] icy [G] chains.
And spring [Cm] I'd bubble and [Eb] forget the winter's rains.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
But I'm only a child [Cm] of [Ab] man. _ _
_ _ [Eb] I'm only a child [Cm] of [Ab] _
man.

[Bb] Love looks so surprised as my eyes shine [Gm] and glow.
[F] _ [Eb] It's the sunlight in the skies that is [Bb] making me so.
[Ab] _ _ [Bb]
Love looks so surprised as my [Gm] eyes shine and glow.
[F] [Eb] It's the sunlight in the skies that is making me so.
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _
I'm joyful, _ _ [Eb] [Bb] somber.
Out in the light, so cold and somber.
_ [Ab] And spring would make [Eb] me sing, my voice [Ab] would ring like [F] tiny bells on [Gm] skies of silk.
[G] [Cm] It's the song of the blue-globed [Bb] shepherds, mother's love.

[Ab] _ _ [Bb] Love looks so surprised as my eyes [Gm] shine and glow.

_ [Bb] Don't [Gm] be surprised. _ _
_ Just [Eb] look in my eyes. _ _
_ For I will orchard. _ _ _
I will [Bb] bloom in the spring, [Eb] yeah.
[Gm] _
I will shed out my walks. _
As the [Eb] green grass grows.
[Bb] _ _
[Eb] Like a flower or tree. _ _ _
I will roll my head back [Ab] and say.
[Eb] _ [C]
Hey, my world, there's a flower.
Hey, oh, _ _ _ hey, oh, hey.
[Gm]
Spring would [Dm] make me sing, my [G] voice would ring as tiny buds [C] began to glow.

[F] _ Like a flower or [D] tree. _ _
_ _ [C] In the spring, yeah. _
_ I will shed out my [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Dm] walks. _ _ _
