Holly Palmer - A Rose By Any Other Name lyrics

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
