Promise Me a Rose (A Slight Detail) - Anita Bryant

If you promise me a rose

I’d go out and buy a pot

My imagination grows into roses by the plot

I’ve got roses on my doors

On my ceiling and my floors

And if you forget to keep your promise

For some reason or another, you fail

How can the dreamer

Of such sweet roses

Be bothered by a slight detail

If you promise me a bird

One to sing about my chair

Then a dream in me is stirred

And one bird becomes a pair

Then my room is full of song

Cause the pair becomes a throng

And if you forget to keep your promise

For a reason or another, you fail

How can the dreamer

Of such sweet music

Be bothered by a slight detail

If you even brush my hand

Absent mindedly as this

Just your touch upon my hand

I can dream into a kiss

Then the kiss begins to soar

Into love forever more

And tho your little boat has no anchor

And my little boat has no sail

How can the dreamer

On love’s blue ocean

Be bothered by a slight detail

Detail, detail
