like a flower

• madonna'nın 1997'de rick nowelsile yazdığı ray of light için düşünülen ama albüme konmayan şarkılardan biri.
• demo kaydı dinlenebilen ve ray of light'tan çok bedtime stories ve something to remember dönemine ait gibi tınlayan muhteşem şarkı. albüme^* alınmama nedeni de budur zâten. kesinlikle something to remember gibi ikinci bir balad derlemesi çıkarmalı ve bu şarkıyı yeryüzünden çıkarmalıdır. böyle bir albüme alınması gereken bir başka şarkı için (bkz: time stood still)
  
  'like a flower' daha sonra itâlyan şarkıcı laura pausini tarafından mi abbandono a te ismiyle itâlyanca, me abandono a ti ismiyle de ispanyolca kaydedilmiştir.
  
  sözleri de şöyle ki:
  
  there's a hole in my heart
  no one else can fill it
  there's a feeling i have
  no one can replace
  there's a taste in my mouth
  no one else can give me
  there's a song that i hear
  no one can erase
  
  why would i want them to?
  i'm still looking back at you
  why would i want them to be you?
  
  you'll always be a part of me
  what you love can never let you go
  you'll always be inside of me
  like a flower you grow
  
  there's a strange melody
  sends me straight to heaven
  there's a voice in my head
  no one else can hear
  
  there's a prayer that i say
  always brings me closer
  to the presence of you
  to always have you near
  
  no one can take your place
  i'm still looking at your face
  no one can take the place of you
  
  you'll always be a part of me
  what you love can never let you go
  you'll always be inside of me
  like a flower you grow
  
  like a flower you grow
  
  why would i want them to?
  i'm still looking back at you
  why would i want them to be you?
  
  you'll always be a part of me
  what you love can never let you go
  you'll always be inside of me
  like a flower you grow
  
  you'll always be a part of me
  what you love can never let you go
  you'll always be inside of me
  like a flower you grow
  
  like a flower you grow
