When you said tulips I knew that you're mine When I caught you there Crying in the night Wearing my jacket Wearing that smile I knew that I'd found you This could be an opportunity Were you unawares? Did it catch you out? Or did it break you in Right from the start? It's as pure as fire It's as pure as snow I knew that I'd found you This could be an opportunity If you promise to let it If you promise to let it grow Cause you're the one I love
