Cut Flowers

Sentimental gestures never meant that much to me But if I had her here today I'd shed a tear for all the world to see [Chorus] Cut flowers sent to a girl with sentimental ways Cut flowers meant more to her on ordinary days A gentle girl who needed all the love I had to give But I was blind to her and would not give What she needed most to live [Chorus] Cut flowers pressed between the pages of a book she gave I go to her and say, "I'm sorry," Then I put cut flowers on her grave [Chorus] --- Cut Flowers - The Smithereens
