When I worked at the funeral home in Tennessee, one of my jobs was to take all the bouquets of flowers that had been brought in honor of the deceased back to the home of the surviving spouse. I always thought how tragic it must be to watch 50 bouquets of flowers slowly wither and die after burying a loved one. Here’s a new one you might like called “I Hate to See Those Flowers Die.”
VERSE 1
DON’T YOU BRING BLUEBELLS FOR MY WINDOWSILL
DARLING IF YOU WANT TO GIVE MT HEART A THRILL
LET THEM BE WHERE I SEE THEM DANCING ON THE HILL
I JUST HATE TO SEE THOSE FLOWERS DIE
VERSE 2
DON’T YOU BUY ME LILIES PLEASE DON’T WASTE A PENNY
I COULD GO OUT WALKING AND SEE TWICE AS MANY
LET THEM BLOOM LET THEM GROW AND PLEASE DON’T CUT ME ANY
CAUSE I HATE TO SEE THOSE FLOWERS DIE
CHORUS
WINTER’S CHILL WILL COME SOON ENOUGH
HOW I WISH THAT WE WERE MADE OF STRONGER STUFF
WE DON’T NEED THEIR PEDALS JUST TO PROVE OUR LOVE
OH I HATE TO SEE THOSE FLOWERS DIE
VERSE 3
LEAVE THE DAFFODILS OUT IN THE FLOWERBED
AND THE HONEYSUCKLE IN THE GARDEN HEDGE
OH I’D RATHER SEE THEM BLOOMING THERE INSTEAD
AND I’D HATE TO SEE THOSE FLOWERS DIE.
VERSE 4
AND IF I SHOULD LEAVE YOU IN THIS WORLD ALONE
PLEASE DON’T SCATTER ROSES RED UPON MY STONE
PLANT A WEEPING WILLOW TREE AND WATCH IT GROWING
CAUSE I HATE TO SEE THOSE FLOWERS DIE
