Lyrics Cut Flowers - The Smithereens

Cut Flowers

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
A 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 (She gave to me)
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
