The Original Songs of David R Mohr

The Flower

    © Copyright 2004, Lightning Notes Productions, Inc.


I gave to him a flower
Entrusted to his hands
He's more than just my little boy
he's my little man

With Teary eyes he's standing
he's just about to cry
He seems to think he's let me down
He thinks he let his flower die

He calls me on the tel'phone
It's weighing on his mind
Daddy it's my flower
My flower it has died 

It's the one you gave me
He's just about to cry
Oh! Daddy what are we to do
Now that my flower's died?

{Chorus}
My son you are so special you are my only one 
This is not your doing it's just the way it's done
Flowers come and flowers go and on pictures we can look
We keep some in our hearts and minds 
And press some in a book.

I've not lost my love for you
Son you've done nothing wrong
Be rest assured I'm here for you
As you grow big and strong 

You didn't kill the flower
That's just what flowers do
On my way home from work I'll get
Another one for you

But Daddy what's to happen
To this one in my hand
It's the one YOU gave me
Oh don't you understand

Let me ease your mind son
For you are so distressed
We still can keep it forever
In a book it can be pressed

{Chorus}
My son you are so special you are my only one 
This is not your doing it's just the way it's done
Flowers come and flowers go and on pictures we can look
We keep some in our hearts and minds 
And press some in a book.

We keep some in our hearts and minds
And press some in a book.
