bring my flowers now while i'm livin'

i won't need your love when i'm gone

don't spend time tears or

money on my old breathless body

if your heart is in them

flowers bring em on

all the miles cast a long shadow

i'd take a couple back if i could

i'd've learned to play guitar

told my daddy more i loved him

but i believe for the

most part i done good

there's always sunrise

and rainbows and babies

and the little things

i cherish on my way

even though one day

they'll bury me and jessie mae

i just know we're gonna

ride again someday

bring my flowers now while i'm livin'

i won't need your love when i'm gone

don't spend time tears or

money on my old breathless body

well if your heart is in

them flowers bring em on

the days are long but

the years are lightning

they're bright and they

will never strike again

i wish i'd been a better friend

a better daughter to my mother

there's no goin'back when

your back's against the wind

so if you got love then

you're sittin'on a gold mine

and you can't take it

with you when you go

so don't wait to help your sister

forgive your brother and your neighbor

we all think we got the

time until we don't

bring my flowers now while i'm livin'

i won't need your love when i'm gone

don't spend time tears or

money on my old breathless body

if your heart is in them

flowers bring em on

if your heart is in them

flowers bring em on
