Fascinating Aida - Flowers in Winter lyrics
The photograph is so familiar I know its details through and through It's just a piece of memorabillia And yet I see it now as new A handsome boy of barely twenty So grown up and yet so raw A face so bright with hope in plenty A handsome boy who fought a war But speak my heart? I can't begin to For the words I can't compose An old man loved his flowers in winter Daddy, you're my Christmas rose The photograph has scarcely faded But the man is sorely changed He finds it hard to walk unaided For youth and he are long estranged And yet these eyes that saw such sorrow Never flinch and shine the same Our nature lends and we but borrow For a while this mortal frame But speak my heart? I can't begin to For the words I can't compose An old man loved his flowers in winter Daddy, you're my Christmas rose The world he fought for is passing from us And stronger values move offstage I am but weak, a doubting Thomas Just a product of my age This life of ours is less distinguished We stand in awe of such a spree And when that courage is extinguished Then we shall all the poorer be But speak my heart? I can't begin to For the words I can't compose An old man loved his flowers in winter Daddy, you're my Christmas rose But speak my heart? I can't begin to For the words I can't compose An old man loved his flowers in winter Daddy, you're my Christmas rose |
