If you promise me a rose I'd go out and buy a pot My imagination grows Into roses by the plot I've got roses on my doors On my ceiling and my floors And if you forget to keep your promise For some reason or another, you fail How can the dreamer Of such sweet roses Be bothered by a slight detail If you promise me a bird One to sing about my chair Then a dream in me is stirred And one bird becomes a pair Then my room is full of song 'Cause the pair becomes a throng And if you forget to keep your promise For a reason or another, you fail How can the dreamer Of such sweet music Be bothered by a slight detail If you even brush my hand Absent mindedly as this Just your touch upon my hand I can dream into a kiss Then the kiss begins to soar Into love forever more And tho your little boat has no anchor And my little boat has no sail How can the dreamer On love's blue ocean Be bothered by a slight detail Detail, detail
