Terry Allen - Give Me The Flowers lyrics

In this world today Where we're living Some folks say The worst of us they can But when we are dead And in our caskets They always slip some lilies In our hands Will you give me my flowers While I'm livin And let me enjoy them While I can Don't wait til I抦 ready To be buried And then slip some lilies In my hand In this world is Where we need our flowers And a kind word to help us Get along So if you can't give me flowers While I'm livin Then please don't throw them When I'm gone
