Smell The Flowers Lyrics - The Essential Jerry Reed - Jerry Reed

Yesterdays 

Oh, how many do you wish you could relive? 

Turn the page and go back 

Oh, I wonder what you'd give? 

Looking back, does it seem 

That when you've planned 

And when you've dreamed 

You forgot the most important thing 

Smell the flowers while the roses bloom 

Take the time my friend and sing a happy tune 

Oh, how precious every mile, so take a minute, learn to smile 

My friend, let's stop a while and smell the flowers 

Smell the flowers 

Got a troubled mind, friend 

Did you let too much worry rule your days? 

When you look back 

Do you feel like something precious slipped away? 

Oh, my friend are you the man 

That the world slip through your hands? 

Can you remember 

When you smelled the flowers? 

Smell the flowers while the roses bloom 

Take the time my friend and sing a happy tune 

You won't have this day again 'cause every road has got to end 

So don't forget my friend to smell the flowers 

Smell the flowers 

Smell the flowers while the roses bloom 

Take the time my friend and sing a happy tune 

Oh, how precious every mile, so take a minute, learn to smile 

My friend, let's stop a while and smell the flowers
