I know it's old, but I love it

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am trying to find a really nice slow song that was done by color me bad years ago. The lyrics go " Let the rain fall down upon her, she's a free and gentle flower growing wild." I can not find the lyrics anywhere. I thought it was called "gentle flower" but it is not coming up in any search I have tried.

Thanks

Hi, never heard the song but i think it'll be:

SKYLARK / Color Me Badd?? (1972) - Wildflower

Hope this helps.

The original was done by New Birth and was re-made by the Tempations

"She faced the hardest times you can imagine
And many times her eyes fall back the tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
For the weight of all her tears
And a sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Chorus:
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

And if by chance that I should hold her
Let me hold her for a while
And if allowed just one posession
I would pick her from her garden to be mine

Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you look into her eyes you won't believe
For the way she's always paying for a debt she never owed
And a silent wind still blows that she can only hear
So she goes

Repeat chorus 2x

She's my free and gentle flower, growing growing growing wild
She's a free and gentle flower
growing growing wild
She's my flower,
growing growing growing wild
Growing growing growing growing wild
She's my free and gentle flower "
