Nicole Mish - Flower To A Bee Lyrics

I ran, secure from your warm arms
When the tree line hopped to meet the sky
When the sidewalk laughed beneath the puddle
When I jumped in my boots and tried to fly
And I ran straight home to you
When the magic went away
Tomato soup and grilled cheese warmed me through
When you tried to mend my day
Have I told you I am happy
Have I told you free
Have I told you that you gave this gift to me
Like a flower to a bee
I see the wonder all around us
Like I'm high above the trees
Have I told you that you gave this gift to me
At dusk in your garden
Lying on my back, I was alone
Singing twinkle to the dancing stars
Your garden was now secretly ours
I would later wish for Wonder Bread
And bologna sandwiches instead
I shunned the harvest that you offered us
I dreamed of something less
In the end, I needed more than less
Or less of that and more of you
I manifested all the berries I once ate
At your mother's garden gate
And I hope you can see
How your garden lives in me
Have I told you that you mean the earth to me
Have I told you that I'm happy
Have I told you that I'm free
Have I told you that you gave this gift to me
Like flower to a bee
I see the wonder all around us
Like I'm high above the trees
Have I told you that you gave this gift to me
Have I told you that you gave this gift to me
