Will these orchids please your lover?
Will you leave them at her door
Will she smiling say I love you
And hold you close to her
Will you laugh a little louder
When she tells you of her scrapes
Will you lay her down beside you
And hold her till she wakes
And maybe while I sit here thinking
While I wet my wounds to heal
Maybe you are thinking of me
Or maybe I am dreaming still
Will you see her through the bad times
Like Roald Dahl and Patricia Neal
Will you catch salt from her teardrops
Make diamonds for her smile
While I still love you,
While I still love you
