Once, as I lay cryin', on the ground She came up to me and let her hair fall down All over me And she said the tenderest things I've ever heard a woman say
She's a flower child, summer's daughter (She's a summer's daughter) (Love and sweet?) She's sweet as water She's a flower child, she's summer's daughter I love her
An ant is never crushed beneath her feet And I've seen sparrows brush against her cheek 'Cause she's so sweet
And she does the tenderest things I've ever seen a woman do
She's a flower child, summer's daughter (She's a summer's daughter) (Love and sweet) She's sweet as water She's a flower child, she's summer's daughter Oh, I love her
