If people dressed in colours 

According to their deeds 

Then many leading men 

Would dress in black 

And lots of unsung heroes 

Who never made a name 

Would be walking round 

With gold upon their backs 

------- 

CHORUS: 

Heaven knows 

You're a rose 

And the love inside your heart 

Just grows and grows 

No one sees 

I suppose 

That it's something only me 

And heaven knows 

------- 

If people were like flowers 

Imagine what you'd see 

Thorns in highest places 

Where the roses ought to be 

And down along the hedgerows 

Among the grasses tall 

You would find the sweetest 

Roses of them all 

------- 

REPEAT CHORUS: 

If people were like music 

Some hearts would never sing 

Think of all the happiness 

A song like yours could bring 

You fill the life I'm living 

With love and harmony 

And you're the sweetest song 

I'll ever see 

------- 

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE: 

That it's something only me 

And heaven knows
