5:06Tell me how the likes of you Could bloom in such a place? I'm in awe of your wonder My living proof of grace You don't demand half the care that All the others do cactus flower I never seen another thing like you You're a beauty, cactus flower Drop of rain in the driest hour You're a gem to behold, my desert rose Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear Cactus flower I'll carry your memory anywhere She's a stubborn sunburnt soul swayin' In the summer wind Long and lean, and somewhat green Barefoot on the sunburnt sand She bathes on sunshine Dances beneath the desert moon Cactus flower, I'm just as crazy for you You're a beauty, cactus flower Drop of rain in the driest hour You're a gem to behold, my desert rose Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear Cactus flower I'll carry your memory anywhere You're a beauty, cactus flower Drop of rain in the driest hour You're a gem to behold, my desert rose Sweeter than the fruit atop of a prickly pear Cactus flower I'll follow your beauty anywhere Cactus flower I'd follow your beauty anywhere
