My Love Is a Flower (Just Beginning to Bloom) - Jonathan Richman, The Modern Lovers

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 flower just beginning to bloom…

Beginning to bloom, to bloom.

My love is a birdie who’s just learning to trill.

I must be patient with her now so I will.

My love is a flower just beginning to bloom…

Beginning to bloom, to bloom.

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.

My love is a flower just beginning to bloom…

She’s just beginning to bloom, to bloom.

She’s still learning to love herself,

And she’s still learning to let herself go (and that’s hard, you know)

She’s still learning to trust herself (I gotta give her a break)

I gotta be so patient, because I know

That my love she’s like a flower just beginning to bloom

Like those things from your garden that spring from the gloom.

My love is a flower just beginning to bloom…

Beginning to bloom, to bloom.
