roses sit on the table
you've had your first show
you're voice melted hearts
and now it shows
that smile
that brightens the room
that smile
the one I love,
those roses
that sit on the table
are nothing
the real gift
is you
you make the world shine brighter
brighter than the sun
I have always wanted to be you
your voice
your smile
you are a wonder of the world
those roses
are just a fraction
of what you deserve
remember that
whenever you look at those roses
you are special
and people
are going to see something
they have never seen before
