v.1
GIn this world today while we're Dlivin'
DSome folks say the worst of us they Gcan
GBut when we are dead and in our Ccaskets
They Galways slip some Dlilies in our Ghands
Chorus:
GWon't you give me my flowers while I'm Dlivin'
DAnd let me enjoy them while I Gcan
GPlease don't wait til I'm ready to be Cburied
And Gthen slip some Dlilies in my Ghand
Instr. Brk.
v.2
In this world, this world we need our flowers
A kind word to help us get along
If you can't give me flowers while I'm livin'
Then please don't throw them when I'm gone
Rpt. Ch.
