A Rose By Any Other Name [Holly Palmer]


Thanks to Julia James for submitting
the lyrics

In the eyes of the beholder, there's beauty in everything
It all depends on just how hard your looking, that gets you what life brings
So I really don't mind waiting though your half a world away
It's remembering your silly smile that gets me through the day

I read fifteen chapters of a real slow book today
And I noticed for a short time that I forgot you'd gone away
Through two hole pots of coffee, I washed the dishes and I cleaned the shelves
Then I thought I heard you tell me to stop feeling sorry for myself

So some they they talk of cease fire, or heading for higher ground
Like a frog that jumps to water lillies your the safest thing I've found
And if you were n't so beautiful I would love you just the same
You'd be a rose......... by any other name

I know I could have had a life of sandy beaches, champagne and top shelf wine
But 'cos life does n't last forever, I chose you and got it right the first time
We'll make hay while the sun shines, and love 'till the evening fades
And that beats riches, it's a better life we've made.... so while

So some they they talk of cease fire, or heading for higher ground
Like a frog that jumps to water lillies your the safest thing I've found
And if you were n't so beautiful I'd love you just the same
You'd be a rose......... by any other name

So when you get home boy look out, I'll show you just what loves all about
There'll be candles and wine, I'll pull down the blind and I'll tell all our friends that we're out.

So some they they talk of cease fire, or heading for higher ground
Like a frog that jumps to water lillies your the safest thing I've found
And if you were n't so beautiful I'd love you just the same
You'd be a rose......... by any other name
