Cut Flowers

Sentimental gestures never

Meant that much to me

But if I had her here today

I'd shed a tear for all the world to see



Cut flowers sent

To a girl with sentimental ways

Cut flowers meant

More to her on ordinary days



Gentle girl who needed

All the love I had to give

But I was blind to her and would not give her

What she needed most to live



Cut flowers sent

To a girl with sentimental ways

Cut flowers meant

More to her on ordinary days



Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers



Cut flowers pressed between

The pages of a book she gave

I go to her and say, "I'm sorry"

Then I put cut flowers on her grave



Cut flowers sent

To a girl, with sentimental ways

Cut flowers meant

More to her on ordinary days



Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
