[Verse 1:] Let me have some pretty flowers for I've made it Maybe it may bring some sunshine her way And put some pretty ribbon round them gently So she can smell the fragrance every day [Chorus:] Let me give her the flowers while she's living For I don't want to wait until she's gone Let me give her the flowers while she's living I can see my mama smile when I get home [Verse 2:] Comin' home holds different mem'ries for everybody For some man has sadness of days gone by But for me it's the pretty flowers for my mama Just to see her precious smile in her smilin' eyes [Chorus] [Outro:] I can see my mama smile when I get home
