Cut Flowers (The Smithereens)

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 Cut flowers sent To a girl with sentimental ways Cut flowers meant More to her on ordinary days Gentle girl who needed All the love I had to give But I was blind to her and would not give her What she needed most to live Cut flowers sent To a girl with sentimental ways Cut flowers meant More to her on ordinary days Cut flowers, flowers, flowers Cut flowers, flowers, flowers 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 Cut flowers sent To a girl, with sentimental ways Cut flowers meant More to her on ordinary days Cut flowers, flowers, flowers Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
