Come Sing With Me My Flower  Verse I want to dance and sing  When you're around I can open myself up wide in your face I hold back no emotion You've brought me to this place Chorus Come sing with me my flower As I watch you  You're at the most open that you can be Verse I don't hesitate my feelings When I look close at you I know instantly how I feel I'm confident in this Chorus Verse Come make me laugh I know I can be the loudest with you I can cry You won't judge me I won't faulter  with my love for you Bridge I'm as strong as I can be I don't think twice about myself I know you have  all the definitions of me Chorus  Come sing with me my flower As I watch you  You're at the most open that you can be I know I can be the happiest with you!! Come sing with me my flower! Repeat
