Chad Michael Parker - Flowers in a Paper Bag

The engine light's on
We don't give a care
It shines on her hand in mine
Like the lights in Times Square

She's in tattered jeans
And a Goodwill t-shirt
We're richer than kings
With an empty purse

I will give you flowers in a paper bag
I know it's not perfect, but it's all we have
It's all we want
All we need
Oh this imperfect love
Is perfect for me

And through the cracked mirror
I see the scars in her eyes
But they still shine brighter
Than all the stars in the sky

And when the furnace breaks down
In the winter-chilled storm
I'll grab a blanket
And inside we'll stay warm

I will give you flowers in a paper bag
I know it's not perfect, but it's all we have
It's all we want
All we need
Oh this imperfect love
Is perfect for me

The mazes of wrinkles
Don't lead us away
And through the big glasses
I still see her the same

Things come and they go
But time only stays
Fifty years, now I know
We grow stronger with age

I will give you flowers in a paper bag
I know it's not perfect, but it's all we have
It's all we want
All we need
Oh this imperfect love
Is perfect for me
