<td class="content"><font size="2">Twelve lovely roses in a blue crystal vase <br />
All arranged so neatly, every petal in its place<br />
I can't deny their beauty, but they will never move me<br />
Like those wild blossoms by the banks of the river<br />
Like those wild blossoms by the banks<br />
<br />
They raise their arms to heaven and they bend in gentle rain <br />
They grow in sweet abandon, their passion unrestrained<br />
And give themselves completey, tossing caution to the wind <br />
I want to live to love you like those wild blossoms by the banks of the river <br />
Like those wild blossoms by the banks <br />
<br />
So what can I offer, how can I express? <br />
My heart wants to love you with everything I have<br />
Not like captured roses that wither in my hands<br />
I want to love you like those wild blossoms by the banks of the river <br />
Like those wild blossoms by the banks.... <br />
So free and open like those wild blossoms by the banks. <br />
<br />
