[Verse 1: Johnny Cash] I have picked wild roses Far into september But I had no one to give the flowers to I needed a celebration A September coronation And I admitted to myself I needed you [Verse 2: June Carter] I've watched the gentle winds change The colors shades of meadows Ive seen the dew on flowers that had no name But I let my vase stay empty like my lonely empty heart Picking flowers for yourself is not the same [Chorus] Don't you think its come our time to be together Lets gather up our scattered words of love and make them rhyme Let's go pick some flowers and fill our empty vases
Don't you think its come our time [Verse 3] Would you take this small bouquet that leaves a fragrance on my fingers And a feeling that your love is close at hand Thank you for the flowers, now lets walk through the meadows Through the brook where our demands caress the sand [Chorus] Don't you think its come our time to be together Lets gather up our scattered words of love and make them rhyme Let's go pick some flowers and fill our empty vases Don't you think its come our time Don't you think its come our time
