#singersongwriter #acoustic #desertRock This song was inspired by a trip I took to the Desert botanical garden over the holidays. I learned about the Cactus flower known as “The queen of the night” Which only blooms one night a year. It seemed like rich soil for a tsp song.

She’s just like a cactus flower She had a way that would allow her To comes around only once a year She generates elation and fear

She was known as the Queen of the night When she shows up and she smells so nice but as the night gives way to daytime you only see her red tail lights

Refrain: Cactus Flower, why cant you stay? Cant we see you just one more day? Cactus flower, you smell so sweet You stick around you sweep me off my feet

She a nocturnal creature it seems she prowls around, while most of us dream Though we beg her and we plead By light of day she gotta leave

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if she stayed around more than one night She’s like a shooting star in the night sky A constellation with a short lifetime Refrain Please Stay…. Another Day…. We want to see you… We want to play
