She's my bright fresh flower and I love her
She's a soul born in this world divine
There's a Roman ancestor behind her
I say "Goodnight, sweet child of mine"

She's my bright fresh flower and I dream her
I wake in her to find the world sublime
Never could be bothered with mathematics
I say "Count me in, sweet child of mine"

Oh oh oh ooh

She's my bright fresh flower and I hold her
Tenderly as if I held her spine
Every time I feel myself I'm older
I say "Goodnight, sweet child of mine"
