Tulip

Fresh cut grass 'neath the old pine tree

Mahogany wood, a cajon, and my strings

I played for you 'neath a theatric sky

You danced for me with the stars in your eyes

I could see

And as the sunlight glistens through...

My Tulip blooms all year long

She's not the words - she's the whole song

So if I sing with you, will my notes all belong?

To the rhythmic beat of a tulip blooming

The thunder will roll as the mountains quake

But nothing can shake the faith I have in you

My Darlin' from the before we meet til' I say "I Do."

Til' the moment I pass, my heart belongs to you

My Tulip blooms all year long

She's not the notes - she's the whole song

So if I sing with you, will my notes all belong?

My Tulip blooms all year long

She's not the notes - she's the whole song

So, when I sing with you, my notes - they all belong

To the rhythmic beat of a Tulip blooming.

This song has a special place in my heart because I wrote it long before I had any real crush. It was written from a place of longing - hope that one day I would have something special with another. And now, I do.
