Just beginning to bloom

Well, my love is a flower just beginning to bloom
Like those things from your garden that spring from the gloom

My love is a birdie who's just learning to trill
I must be patient with her now so I will

She's still learning to love herself
She's still learning to let herself go
And she's still learning to trust herself
And jonathan's gotta be patient because I know
That my love is a flower just beginning to bloom
Just like those things from your garden that spring from the gloom


Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers, My Love Is A Flower (Just Beginning To Bloom), em Back In Your Life (1979)
