Give Me My Flowers

by James Cleveland

on Sings With The World's Greatest Choirs (1985)

GIVE ME MY FLOWERS
WHILE I YET LIVE
SO THAT I, I, I CAN SEE THE BEAUTY
THAT THEY BRING

SPEAK KIND WORDS TO ME
WHILE I CAN HEAR THEM
SO THAT I, I, I CAN HEAR THE COMFORT
THAT THEY BRING

FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES
MAY GIVE ME FLOWERS
WHEN I'M SICK?
OR ON MY SICK BED
BUT I'D RATHER HAVE
JUST ONE TULIP RIGHT NOW
THAN A BLANKET FULL OF ROSES
WHEN I'M DEAD

GIVE ME MY FLOWERS
WHILE I YET LIVE
SO THAT I, I, I CAN SEE THE BEAUTY
THAT THEY BRING

SPEAK KIND WORDS TO ME
WHILE I CAN HEAR THEM
SO THAT I, I, I CAN HEAR THE COMFORT
THAT THEY BRING
