If people dressed in colours
According to their deeds
Then many leading men

Would dress in black
And lots of unsung heroes
Who never made a name

Would be walking round
With gold upon their backs
-------

CHORUS:
Heaven knows
You're a rose

And the love inside your heart
Just grows and grows
No one sees

I suppose
That it's something only me
And heaven knows

-------
If people were like flowers
Imagine what you'd see

Thorns in highest places
Where the roses ought to be
And down along the hedgerows

Among the grasses tall
You would find the sweetest
Roses of them all

-------
REPEAT CHORUS:
If people were like music

Some hearts would never sing
Think of all the happiness
A song like yours could bring

You fill the life I'm living
With love and harmony
And you're the sweetest song

I'll ever see
-------
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE:

That it's something only me
And heaven knows
