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 (somewhat revised for Roseanne 6/6/1998 )
