I've been out walking by the shore The air was still and still the water cold And I want you to know I'm thinking of you This kind of chill, it helps me cope I was so young to leave you all alone And I want you to know I'm thinking of you All the pretty girls they find A way to keep you on my mind I swear I heard you singing in love Cities pass like candy stars And you're the one I'm looking for So wrong, I didn't know till you were gone Tell me my love, you're ready to go Don't leave me all on my own And so, I'm just a boy who's telling a girl That when I grow up I'll buy you a rose When I grow up I'll buy you a rose And now I'm walking in the rain I couldn't lie cause I was so afraid And I want you to say you're thinking of me All the pretty girls they find A way to keep you on my mind I swear I heard you singing in love Cities pass like candy stars And you're the one I'm looking for So wrong, I didn't know till you were gone Tell me my love, you're ready to go Don't leave me all on my own And so, I'm just a boy who's telling a girl That when I grow up I'll buy you a rose When I grow up I'll buy you a rose Baby tell me that you love me so Can you let me know, can you hold me close Baby tell me you'll forgive me now Cause I don't know how I could let you down Tell me my love, you're ready to go Don't leave me all on my own And so, I'm just a boy who's telling a girl That when I grow up I'll buy you a rose Tell me my love, you're ready to go Don't leave me all on my own And so, I'm just a boy who's telling a girl That when I grow up I'll buy you a rose When I grow up I'll buy you a rose Yeah, when I grow up I'll buy you a rose When I grow up I'll buy you a rose
