It was one of the first things I gave you
Though I was expecting a lot more blue
We both planted at the same time
But we had to wait until springtime
While we waited we were both excited
A gift shared together as one, united
We talked and pined about the day
When we would see the beautiful array
A flower that has no equal
And every year will give a sequel
These flowers will forever say
I loved you enough to plant a bouquet
These tulips with such notoriety
They grow in such astonishing variety
Will grace you every spring
And with it the joy it will bring
Every tulip you will ever see
I hope you will stop and think of me.
