The Desert Flower © W.T.Anderson Jr.

The desert flower, captured my heart...
Her golden red hair sets her apart, how I wish she would stay here forever...
Bluest of eyes challenge the clearest sky, how I wish she were mine tonight...
For a thousand nights I’ll think of her and smile...

The desert flower, soon to be gone, taken too soon from my sight...
Purest of heart, don’t challenge the notion that my heart couldn’t fall...
When she smiles my heart sings a song, how I wish she could stay here forever...
For a thousand nights I’ll think of her and smile...

The desert flower, my flame of desire, how I wish I could hold you forever...
Dreams in your eyes, dreams that can touch the sky...
How I wish those dreams were of you and I...
For a thousand nights I’ll think of her and smile...
And every night I’ll think of her and smile...
