About Watch the Flowers Grow

"Watch the Flowers Grow" is a song composed by L. Russell Brown and Raymond Bloodworth and popularized by The Four Seasons in 1967. The single was released in the wake of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "Watch the Flowers Grow" struggled up the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #30, as The Four Seasons' music was rapidly falling out of favor with the American record-buying public (the Four Seasons' next single, a cover of The Shirelles' #1 hit "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" did slightly better, reaching #24 as the last Top 40 Four Seasons hit until "Who Loves You" in 1975). Songwriter L. Russell Brown would compose (or co-compose) a string of hit records in the 1970s, including several recorded by Dawn featuring Tony Orlando.

[Watch the flowers grow, watch 'em grow]
Did you ever see a flower grow?
If you did then you would surely know
Love is like the flowers
Takes a lot of hours
If you really want to know
Watch the flowers grow.

Listen to my thoughts and take a ride
I shall give you all you've been denied
First you gotta slow down
Listen to my sweet sound
If you really want to know
Watch the flowers grow

Over the mountain there's a sweet meadow
A breeze is blowin', so take my hand and we can
Watch the flowers grow

Let me take you where the flowers grow
Let me be the one who told you so
I'll love you forever
I will leave you never
Baby let's go,
Watch the flowers grow

[Watch the flowers grow, watch 'em grow]
[Repeat]
