Give Me The Flowers

In this world today where we're living

Some folks say the worst of us they can

But when we are dead and in our caskets

They always slip some lilies in our hands

Will you give me my flowers

While I'm livin' and let me enjoy them while I can?

Don't wait 'til I'm ready to be buried

And then slip some lilies in my hand

In this world is where we need our flowers

And a kind word to help us get along

So if you can't give me flowers while I'm livin'

Then please, don't throw them when I'm gone
