Come    let  me  hold  you  for   a  while; 
all  you  have  to  do____ is  smile__ and I'm  yours   a-gain. 
I     may  not   like   some  things__ you do 
but   they're   all   a    part_    of    you___and    you're   my  best  friend. 

I don't  mind   the   cold__  when  I  have   a   fire__ to  warm  me. 
I  don't  mind  the  rain___ 'cause  it makes   the flow - ers  grow. 
I can     take      the   bad  times   when   you  wrap   your  love   a - round  me. 
I  don't  mind  the  thorns__   if   you're    the  rose. 

Stay,   we   can   work  the  whole  thing  out.___
that's  what  love's   a- bout,________ and I   un - der - stand. 
You     didn't    mean  the  things_  you  said. 
They're  so   eas - y   to    for  - get__ when you take my   hand. 

I don't  mind   the   cold__  when  I  have   a   fire__ to  warm  me. 
I  don't  mind  the  rain___ 'cause  it makes   the flow - ers  grow. 
I can     take      the   bad  times   when   you  wrap   your  love   a - round  me. 
I  don't  mind  the  thorns__   if   you're    the  rose. 

If  it    was    an - y  bod - y   else,  I   would   be    gone._____
But   you're   so   beau-ti-ful   to  me,___
oh,  that   I    keep    on  hold-in'   on.

I don't  mind   the   cold__  when  I  have   a   fire__ to  warm  me. 
I  don't  mind  the  rain___ 'cause  it makes   the flow - ers  grow. 
I can     take      the   bad  times   when   you  wrap   your  love   a - round  me. 
I  don't  mind  the  thorns__    when  you're    the  rose.
