George Jones - Flowers For Mama Lyrics
Papa brought flowers for mama todayAnd all the grown children, but it's not mother's dayI don't have no money, not even a dimeBut I brought mama flowers like I have all the time.Everyday I pick flowers from this pretty hillA small box of Daisies and a few DaphidillesI bring them to mama at the end of the dayAnd say flowers for mama, here's mama's bouquet.They brighten her face and she holds me closeShe'd say they are more precious than a beautiful roseAnd she wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowersA smile that I'll carry through lifes darkest hours.Spoken:Now mama was lying there, yes, they tell me she passed awayAnd she was surrounded by flowers that outshined my bouquetI know mine aren't fancy but still all the whileThey were placed in her hand and I know I saw mama smile.Sang:Flowers for mama I picked them todayNot very much, just a simple bouquetMom wasn't so fancy but up there aboveShe's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love.
