The flowers on the windowsill are dying
And everything I say sounds like I’m lying
I forgot to water the plants
And now you’re going back to France
Please don’t leave me, Marigold
Even if you’re a flower and I never told you
Even if I never stop to hold you
Please don’t leave, stay home
The stars in the atmosphere are falling
And everything I say sounds so appalling
I heard you reading one of Shakespeare’s plays
You were better then Olivier
Please don’t leave me, Marigold
Even if you’re a star and I never told you
Even if I don’t know how to show you
You’re a beautiful, beautiful girl
It really threw me for a twirl
To have you as my own
You know I cheated when we met
I used my master’s voice
When I was only a pet
And there’s some things that I can’t change
Cause you don’t want to see this man deranged
Though I’m bending back for you now
Cause I feel like a coward
Just don’t leave
Now I understand you’re more precious to me
Than I ever could have told you
Now I’m asking you to give me one more chance
To show you
You open up and shine like the sun
Upon the summer leaves
