For Roseanne

There's no way I can say
The stars belong to you
The sky will always be blue
just for you

Birds they fly and must be free
Flowers don't only bloom in spring
But I'd give you anything 
if it were up to me

All the world would adore you
with songs and beautiful things
Sunsets would last forever
and cool breeze my love would bring

I'd kiss your hand 
and kneel down at your feet 
I'd point to all the land 
and say it's from me

Butterflies will fill the skies
Hummingbirds at your side
I say these lines to make you mine
I think it would be so kind

There is no way I can say
the stars belong to you
The sky will always be blue
just for you
 
But there is one thing I can do
and that is give you my heart
and promise that I'll be true
just for you
