One of the best lines

"Be careful how you touch her, or she'll awaken; and sleep's the only freedom that she knows."

One of the lines from the popular song "Wildflower," by the band Skylark, from 1973.

Here is a link to the complete lyrics:

Here is the song as it was originally recorded. If I remember correctly, it got to #3 on the charts about the time Pam and I were married, and will always be the song I most associate with her. (It has no special significance to her, incidentally.) Listen to it, and notice the use of a harp in the orchestration, which is very unusual for popular tunes of that day.
