Give Me The Flowers Lyrics - Terry Allen

In this world today where we're living 

Some folks say the worst of us they can 

But when we are dead and in our caskets 

They always slip some lilies in our hands 

Will you give me my flowers 

While I'm livin' and let me enjoy them while I can? 

Don't wait 'til I'm ready to be buried 

And then slip some lilies in my hand 

In this world is where we need our flowers 

And a kind word to help us get along 

So if you can't give me flowers while I'm livin' 

Then please, don't throw them when I'm gone
