Flowers mean forgiveness,
I heard a poet say,
When you need forgiveness,
You give her a bouquet,

Flowers mean forgiveness,
My darling, here I stand,
Asking your forgiveness,
With flowers in my hand.

As sure as I was wrong when I made you cry,
I know that you'd be wrong if you say goodbye.
Take these lovely flowers, or they'll be lonely too.
Flowers mean forgiveness, forgive me, say you do.
