The Flower

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.
