| A Wilted Bouquet
A wilted bouquet tied up with lace,
a girl on her bed with tears down her face
by the look in her eye
her love has turned dead
just like the flowers and the lines that he said
Don't send me flowers, they'll only die
don't tell me you care, cuz it's just a lie
it just comes too easy
buyin' roses and daisies,
so I will fill in cuz your lonely tonight
A man across town in a floral store
thinkin if he buys her flowers,
she'll come back for sure
he just don't know it,
this time he's really blown it
cuz when shows up to knock on her door
she says
don't bring me flowers, they'll only die
don't tell me you care cuz I know its a lie
you think it's so easy
buyin roses and daisies
but I ain't fill in cuz your lonely tonight
A man kneeling down with tears down his face
he's holding a woman inside his embrace
he knows this is the last time he'll ever kiss her,
before she lies down, she leans up and whispers,
don't bring me flowers, they'll only die
we'll meet again, so baby don't cry
daisies are pretty
but there will be plenty
in God's kingdom in heaven way up in the sky.
