A Rose By Any Other Name Lyrics - Holly Palmer

In the eyes of the beholder 

There's beauty in everything 

It all depends on just how hard youre looking 

That gets you what life brings 

So I really don't mind waiting 

Though youre 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 

Youre 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 

Youre 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 

Youre 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
