with blooms of brilliant red
but I will be here for you
as much as possible instead

I can't promise you perfection
for perfection I am not
for I am like the rose
thorns and all I've got

I can't promise you wealth
with money to shower away
But I can give you my love
to share throughout each day

I can't promise you the stars
for they are out of my reach
but I can show you romantic walks
holding hands along the beach

I can't promise total happiness
and never a tear in your eye
though I can give you my word
that in every way I will try

I can't promise eternal life
for this is not mine to give
but I can love and support you
everyday in which we live

so you see I am not the best
and I'm not leaps above the rest
but then you will never know
until you've put me to the test
