In this world today
|
Where we're living
|
Some folks say
|
The worst of us they can
|
But when we are dead
|
And in our caskets
|
They always slip some lilies
|
In our hands
|
Will you give me my flowers
|
While I'm livin
|
And let me enjoy them
|
While I can
|
Don't wait til I? ready
|
To be buried
|
And then slip some lilies
|
In my hand
|
In this world is
|
Where we need our flowers
|
And a kind word to help us
|
Get along
|
So if you can't give me flowers
|
While I'm livin
|
Then please don't throw them
|
When I'm gone
|
|

Give Me the Flowers
