Love is a rose
Neil Young

Love is a rose but you better not pick it;
It only grows when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns and you'll know you missed it;
You lose your love when you say the word "mine".

I wanna see what's never been seen,
I wanna live that age old dream.
Come on, lads, we can go together;
Let's take the best right now,
Take the best right now.

I wanna go to an old hoedown 
Long ago in a western town.
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin';
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.

Love is a rose but you better not pick it;
It only grows when it's on the vine.
Handful of thorns and you'll know you missed it;
You lose your love when you say the word "mine".
 
Love is a rose,   love is a rose.   
Love is a rose,   love is a rose.
