A Rose By Any Other Name

In the eyes of the beholder

There's beauty in everything

It all depends on just how hard you

Re looking

That gets you what life brings

So I really don't mind waiting

Though you

Re half a world away

It's remembering your silly smile

That gets me through the day

I read fifteen chapters of a

Real slow book today

And I noticed for a short time

That I forgot you'd gone away

Through two hole pots of coffee

I washed the dishes and I cleaned the shelves

Then I thought I heard you tell me

To stop feeling sorry for myself

So some

They

They talk of cease fire

Or heading for higher ground

Like a frog that jumps to water lilies

You

Re the safest thing I've found

And if you weren't so beautiful

I would love you just the same

You'd be a rose by any other name

I know I could have had a life of sandy beaches

Champagne and top shelf wine

But 'cos life doesn't last forever

I chose you and got it right the first time

We'll make hay while the sun shines

And love 'til the evening fades

And that beats riches

It's a better life we've made

So while

So some

They

They talk of cease fire

Or heading for higher ground

Like a frog that jumps to water lilies

You

Re the safest thing I've found

And if you weren't so beautiful

I'd love you just the same

You'd be a rose by any other name

So when you get home

Boy

Look out

I'll show you just what loves all about

There'll be candles and wine

I'll pull down the blind and I'll tell

All our friends that we're out

So some

They

They talk of cease fire

Or heading for higher ground

Like a frog that jumps to water lilies

You

Re the safest thing I've found

And if you weren't so beautiful

I'd love you just the same

You'd be a rose by any other name
