You are a rose and I am a simple leaf People adore you while I watch from the trees You handle yourself with dignity and pride While I'm easily swept by the wind's blowing tide
You are a rose the most confident of them all And I am a leaf that can easily fall You have this beauty that radiates love That beauty you have I could sense from above
You are a rose that can only stay in the grass And I am a leaf that wishes to be with you at last But you are a rose and I am a simple leaf People will adore you, while I can only watch from the trees
