Who sings this '70s song?

Question

I heard it today for the first time in years. It goes, "She's a lady. She's a free and gentle flower." Something like that.

Who is it?

Answer 1

It's Wildflower by Skylark. I grew up listening to that song.

Answer 2

"Wildflower"
Words and Music by D. Richardson and D. Edwards. One of the most performed songs in the history of Canadian popular music it was first recorded by SKYLARK. It has since been recorded by countless artists including The O'Jays, The Neville Brothers, Color Me Badd, Shania Twain, and Johnny Mathis just to name a few.

She's faced the hardest times
you could imagine
and many times her eyes fought back the tears
and when her youthful world
was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders
bore the weight of all her fears
and a sorrow no one hears
still rings in midnight silence,
in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

and if by chance I should hold her
let me hold her for a time
but if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden,
to be mine

Be careful how you touch her,
for she'll awaken
and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
and when you walk into her eyes,
you won't believe
the way she's always paying
for a debt she never owes
and a silent wind still blows
that only she can hear and so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child

let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

Answer 3

Wow....this IS a good question. My first instinct says "Ambrosia" may have done the song in the mid-late 70's.

"Don't you cry.....for she's a lady......She's gentle, free and wild....." I vaguely recall a Tom Jones male type singer.....and you know.....come to think of this....I believe it IS Tom Jones who sings this song.

I know he's got one or two hit songs w/ the word "Lady" in them.

Answer 4

Tom Jones...
