Ferlin Husky Lyrics for Song: Give Me the Roses While I Live
 Lyrics for Album: The Gospel Way [King Records] [2002]
 
 
 
 3656>(R. H. Cornelius)
 
 
 
 Wonderful things of folks are said
 
 When they have passed away
 
 Roses adorn the narrow bed
 
 Over the sleeping clay.
 
 
 
 Give me the roses while I live
 
 Trying to cheer me on
 
 Useless are flowers that you give
 
 After the soul is gone.
 
 
 
 Let us not wait to do good deeds
 
 Till they have passed away
 
 Now is the time to sow good seeds
 
 While here on earth we stay.
 
 
 
 Kind words are useless when folks lie
 
 Cold in a narrow bed
 
 Don't wait till death to speak kind words
 
 Now should the words be said...
