LES Fleur S

Les Fleurs - Minnie Riperton
Will somebody wear me to the fair?
?to the morning sings a lonely flower?
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
?Mmm, hmm, hmm?
Will a child find me by a stream?
?daylight will give a sun-beam shower?
Kiss my petals and weave me through a dream.
For all of these simple things and
much more a flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy faith
and hope to people forlorn
Inside every man lives the seed of a flower

If he looks within he finds beauty and power

Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people
that be everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness
and rejoice for the darkness is gone

Throw off your fears, let your heart beat freely
at the sign that a new time is born

Mabel, Sadie, Katie, Lola roses
?Mabel, Sadie, Katie, Lola roses?
Say mama nana ya, uhn-hunh
?Mmm, hmm, hmm?
Lookin' for a Mabel, Katie
?looking for a Mabel, Katie?
Ooh, Mabel, Sadie, Katie, Lola roses
?Mmm, hmm, hmm?
For all of these simple things
and much more a flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy faith
and hope to people forlorn
Inside every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within he finds beauty and power
