Give me My Flowers

Verse 1 In this world today while 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 hand Chorus Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living And let me enjoy them while I can Pleae don't wait till I'm ready to be buried And then slip some lilies in my hand Verse 2 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 Then please don't throw them when I'm gone
