WILDFLOWERS ~ TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS ~ FOR CHARISSE ~ (Lyrics)

Another ole tune that has been in my head for years...and, it being my daughter, Charisse's birthday, it seemed very fitting for the occasion to express my love for her, her family, and Jesus. This video could easily express my hearts' desire for all the girls in my family....including mama..

The photo of the porpoise was taken by Charisse on a deep sea fishing trip her and her husband had this summer.

Lyrics

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free
