Flowers in May

Here's what I learned when you went away The Jacaranda tree flowers in May Jasmine blooms after the rain 4 am, hear the first plane Ride a bike along the beach, the end of the day The sun descends in red and slowly fades Think of all the things I want to say Too late When will I forget, I don't know I want to keep you here inside me to remind me that everything unfolds One day we'll see Hang a white dress on a line in the sun Do the laundry and the dishes, sweep the kitchen Save the bees and baby birds that fall from the trees Look, there's one All night in spring, the mockingbird sings Stay up till dawn and sleep all day long I can feel you with me every moment Even though you're very gone When will I forget, I don't know I want to keep you here inside me to remind me that everything unfolds One day we'll see Hang a white dress on a line in the sun Save the bees and baby birds that fall from the trees Clean the glasses, line them up in a row I won't let you go I won't let you go Here's what I learned when you went away The Jacaranda tree flowers in May Jasmine blooms after the rain 4 am, hear the first plane
