Subject: Lyr Add: YOU (Lionel Kilberg / Kate Wolf)
Here's my transcription:


YOU
Words by Lionel Kilberg, music by Kate Wolf
As sung by Kate Wolf on the Kilberg/Wolf/Don Coffin LP "We Walked by the Water" (1973), reissued as a CD "Bridges" (1995)

Purple-colored daffodils settin' off your hair,
Blushin' roses in your cheeks know I'll soon be there.
Smiles that thaw the winter snow, bringin' on the spring,
Sparklin' eyes that dance above ruby lips that sing.

There's no flower anywhere that has yet been found
To compare with such as you; there is none around.
Tulips blossom; roses bloom; lilies* pokin' through,
None bear the beauty of love I have for you.

Tulips blossom; roses bloom; lilies* pokin' through
None bear the beauty of love I have for you.


[* I have used "lilies" but she might be singing "dillies"—meaning daffodils, I suppose.]
