johnny gray - flowers for mama lyrics

[verse 1]
papa brought flowers for mama today
and all the grown children, but it’s not mother’s day
i don’t have no money, not even one dime
but i brought mama flowers like i have all the time

[verse 2]
each day, i’d pick flowers from this pretty hill
a small bunch of daisies and a few daffodils
and i’d bring them to mama at the end of the day
and say, “flowers for mama, here’s mama’s bouquet”

[verse 3]
it’d brighten her face and she’d hold me close
she’d say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
mom wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers
a smile that i’ll carry through life’s darkest hours

[verse 4 (spoken)]
yes, mama, she was lying there
yes, they tell me she passed away
and she was surrounded by flowers
that outshine my bouquet
yes, i know mine aren’t fancy
but still, all the while
they were placed in her hand
and i know i saw mama smile
[outro verse]
flowers for mama, i picked them today
not very much, just a simple bouquet
mom wasn’t so fancy, but up there above
she’s the prettiest flower in god’s garden of love
