Give Me The Flowers While I'm Living
Amazing Rhythm Aces · Other Songs - Amazing Rhythm Aces
Some folks say the worst of us they can
But when we are dead and in our casket
They always slip some lilies in our hands
In this world is where we need our flowers
A kind word to help us get along
If you can't give me flowers while I'm living
Please don't send them when I'm gone
Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living
Let me enjoy them while I can
Please don't wait till I'm ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand
Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living
And let me enjoy them while I can
Please don't wait till I'm ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand
No don't try to slip some lilies in my hand
Give Me The Flowers While I'm Living
