Give Me Flowers While I'm Living

In this world today while 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 your hand



Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living and let

me enjoy them while I can



Pleae don't wait till I'm ready to be buried and then

slip some lilies in my hand



[ dobro ]



In this world is where we need the flowers a kind word to help us get along



If you can't give me flowers while I'm living



Then please don't throw 'em when I'm gone



Won't you give me my flowers...
