Bring My Flowers Now

So I said, "Listen, I got..." And I said, uh, uh, somethin' about, uh Goin' to somebody's funeral or something, she, I said, "Man," I said I said, "Bring my flowers now, while I'm living" Bring my flowers now, while I'm livin' I won't need your love when I'm gone Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on All the miles cast a long shadow I'd take a couple back if I could I'd've learned to play guitar Told my daddy more I loved him But I believe, for the most part, I done good There's always sunrise and rainbows and babies And the little things I cherish on my way Even though one day They'll bury me and Jessie Mae I just know we're gonna ride again someday Bring my flowers now, while I'm livin' I won't need your love when I'm gone Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body Well, if your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on The days are long but the years are lightning They're bright and they will never strike again I wish I'd been a better friend, a better daughter to my mother There's no goin' back when your back's against the wind So if you got love, then you're sittin' on a gold mine And you can't take it with you when you go So don't wait to help your sister Forgive your brother and your neighbor We all think we got the time until we don't Bring my flowers now, while I'm livin' I won't need your love when I'm gone Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on --- Bring My Flowers Now - Tanya Tucker
