Let me have some pretty flowers for a lady
Maybe it will bring some sunshine her way
And tie some pretty ribbon round them gently
So she can smell the fragrance every day

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 momma smile when i get home

Coming home holds different memories for everybody
For some men has sadness of days gone by
But for me it's the pretty flowers for my momma
Just to see her precious smile in shining eyes
I can see my momma smile when i get home
