Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
My Love Is a Flower (Just Beginning to Bloom)
Richman

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 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
