《Flowers Are Red》歌词

[00:00:02] Flowers Are Red - Harry Chapin

[00:00:35] Little boy on the first day of school

[00:00:37] Got some crayons and started to draw

[00:00:40] He drew colors all over the paper

[00:00:43] For colors was what he saw

[00:00:46] And the teacher said ＂What you doin＇ young man ＂

[00:00:49] ＂I＇m paintin＇ flowers＂ he said

[00:00:52] ＂It＇s not the time for art young man

[00:00:54] And anyway flowers are green and red

[00:00:57] There＇s a time for everything young man

[00:01:00] And a way it should be done

[00:01:03] You＇ve got to show concern for everyone else

[00:01:06] For you＇re not the only one

[00:01:08] And she said

[00:01:09] Flowers are red young man and

[00:01:12] Green leaves are green

[00:01:14] There＇s no need to see flowers any other way

[00:01:17] Than they way they always have been seen

[00:01:20] But the little boy said

[00:01:23] There are so many colors in the rainbow

[00:01:26] So many colors in the morning sun

[00:01:29] So many colors in a flower and I see every one

[00:01:46] There＇s ways that things should be

[00:01:49] And you＇ll paint flowers the way they are

[00:01:52] So repeat after me

[00:01:55] And she said

[00:01:55] Flowers are red young man and

[00:01:58] Green leaves are green

[00:02:01] There＇s no need to see flowers any other way

[00:02:04] Than they way they always have been seen

[00:02:07] But the little boy said again

[00:02:10] There are so many colors in the rainbow

[00:02:13] So many colors in the morning sun

[00:02:16] So many colors in a flower and I see every one

[00:02:33] The teacher put him in a corner

[00:02:36] She said It＇s for your own good

[00:02:39] And you won＇t come out ＇til you get it right

[00:02:41] And are responding like you should

[00:02:45] Well finally he got lonely

[00:02:48] Frightened thoughts filled his head

[00:02:51] And that little boy went up to the teacher

[00:02:54] And this is what he said and he said

[00:03:01] Flowers are red green leaves are green

[00:03:10] There＇s no need to see flowers any other way

[00:03:14] Than the way they always have been seen

[00:03:31] Time went by like it always does

[00:03:34] And they moved to another town

[00:03:37] And the little boy went to another school

[00:03:40] And this is what he found

[00:03:43] The teacher there was smilin＇

[00:03:46] She said Painting should be fun

[00:03:49] And there are so many colors in a flower

[00:03:52] So let＇s use every one

[00:03:55] But that little boy painted flowers

[00:03:59] In neat rows of green and red

[00:04:02] And when the teacher asked him why

[00:04:05] This is what he said and he said

[00:04:12] Flowers are red and green leaves are green

[00:04:20] There＇s no need to see flowers any other way

[00:04:24] Than the way they always have been seen

[00:04:31] But there still must be a way to have our children say

[00:04:35] There are so many colors in the rainbow

[00:04:39] So many colors in the morning sun

[00:04:42] So many colors in a flower and I see every one
