Misty Roses Lyrics

From the 1971 album 'One year'
Colin Blunstone's cover of a Tim Hardin song
CAPO: 1st fret
maj7

You look to me like misty roses,
Too soft to touch, but too lovely to leave alone!
If I could be like misty roses,
I'd love you much, you're too lovely to leave alone!
Flowers often cry, but too late to find...
...That their beauty has been lost with their peace of mind!
You look to me like love for - ever,
Too good to last, but too lovely not to try!
Flowers often cry, but too late to find...
...That their beauty has been lost with their peace of mind!
If I be - lieve in love for - ever,
I'll forget the past, you're too lovely not to try!
This is quite a short song,
when not including the instrumental verses
that appear on the album version.
Live, when not accompanied with a string section,
Colin repeats the last two verses 3 times.
