Don't Kill It Carol
Oh Carol oh, 
Won?t you let this red rose grow 
Don?t kill it Carol 
This red rose that I hold in my hand 
It?s the smallest flower I?ve seen 
One bud only just starting to show 
And the leaves are the lightest green 
It?s had its share of the rain 
It needs some kisses to light its fiery flame again 
One cruel lie and it could die 
Oh Carol oh, 
Won?t you let this red rose grow 
Don?t kill it Carol 
It?s looking for a place to live outside all space and time 
Where there will be no need for it to fade 
There is a secret garden that I think we could find 
Lots of sunshine there, just a touch of shade 
Oh Carol oh, 
Won?t you let this red rose grow 
Don?t kill it Carol 
This red rose that I hold in my hand 
It could grow to be so strong 
Born one night as I lay in your arms 
Created in a lover?s song 
It?s only just seen the light 
It could easily slip back into the gentle night 
One cruel lie and it could die
