Yesterdays oh how many do you wish you could relive
Turn the page and go back oh I wonder what you'd give
Looking back does it seem that when you planned and when you dreamed
You forgot the most important thing
Smell the flowers while the roses bloom
Take the time my friend and sing a happy tune
Oh how precious every mile so take a minute learn to smile
My friend let's stop a while and smell the flowers
Got a troubled mind friend did you let too much worry rule your days
You look back do you feel like something precious slipped away
Oh my friend are you the man that let the world slip through your hands
Can you remember when you smelled the flowers
Smell the flowers while the roses bloom
Take the time my friend and sing a happy tune
You won't have this day again cause every road has got to end
So don't forget my friend to smell the flowers
Smell the flowers while the roses bloom...
