BEAUTY IS A FADING FLOWER
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1967





Beauty is a fading flower 
Tomorrow it may be gone
Beauty is a fading flower 
Love goes on and on

Today everybody wants you 
Brand new is better than old
Who will want you tomorrow 
There's beauty in your soul

Beauty is a fading flower 
Tomorrow it may be gone
Beauty is a fading flower 
Love goes on and on

You have never known love 
You've never learned to hate
When these emotions find you 
They leave lines in your face

Beauty is a fading flower 
Tomorrow it may be gone
Beauty is a fading flower 
Love goes on and on

Love is not all beauty 
Love is not all form
Winter wilts the flowers 
Love can keep you warm

Beauty is a fading flower 
Tomorrow it may be gone
Beauty is a fading flower 
Love goes on and on
