I Want My Flowers While I Live
When I was a little boy,
My mama set me down,
And she said, son,
I won’t always be around.
Back then I didn’t understand it,
But now it’s so clear,
She said, “Give me my flowers while I live”.
As I take a look around,
Somebody ain’t here
Somebody didn’t make it,
To see another year.
You ought a be thankful, Oh
That you’re still here
Don’t you want your flowers while you live?
Chorus
Leader- I want my flowers while I live
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader - I want to see the beauty Oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
Leader - and smell the fragrance that they give
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader – I want to see the beauty Oh Oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
All good things
Comes to an end
Gotta tell you that I love you
Just in case I don’t see you again, see you again.
I know that you love me
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Thank God for the flowers while I’m alive.
Chorus
Leader- I want my flowers while I live
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader - I want to see the beauty Oh oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
Leader - and smell the fragrance that they give
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader – I want to see the beauty Oh Oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
Leader - and smell the fragrance that they give
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader - Do me no good when I’m dead and gone. Oh oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
Leader- I want my flowers while I live
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader - I want to see the beauty Oh oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
Leader - and smell the fragrance that they give
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Leader - Do me no good when I’m dead and gone. Oh oh
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
Leader- give me my flowers while I live
Choir- I want my flowers while I live
Choir- wanna see the beauty and fragrance that they give
