Beautiful Bouquet – Mick Flavin
For pleasure I went walkin, right through the fields one day
I started gatherin flowers to make a sweet bouquet
Each one that I gathered, each flower played a part
Each one is a treasure, endeared to my heart.
Beautiful bouquets I’m gatherin today
Pickin the colours that never fade away
Each flower has a meaning that’s so dear to me
Each flower is a treasure-chest of sweet memories.
Tulips are for sweethearts, white rose for my dad
Red rose stud for mother, the best friend that I had
Forget me not stood faithfully, for tried-true friends of mine
Daisies are for puppy love that I left far behind.
Beautiful bouquets I’m gatherin today
Pickin the colours that never fade away
Each flower has a meaning that’s so dear to me
Each flower is a treasure-chest of sweet memories.
INSTRUMENTAL…
Violets are for grandma, who watches from afar
Poppies are for brother, who lost his life at war
Put them all together, to make a sweet bouquet
A rainbow full of colours that will never fade away.
Beautiful bouquets I’m gatherin today
Pickin the colours that never fade away
Each flower has a meaning that’s so dear to me
Each flower is a treasure-chest of sweet memories.
Each flower is a treasure-chest of sweet memories.
