Papa brought flowers for mama today 

And all the grown children, but it's not mother's day 

I don't have no money, not even a dime 

But I brought mama flowers like I have all the time. 

Everyday I pick flowers from this pretty hill 

A small box of Daisies and a few Daffodils 

I bring them to mama at the end of the day 

And say flowers for mama, here's mama's bouquet. 

They brighten her face and she holds me close 

She'd say they are more precious than a beautiful rose 

And she wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers 

A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours. 

Spoken: 

Now mama was lying there, yes, they tell me she passed away 

And she was surrounded by flowers that out-shined my bouquet 

I know mine aren't fancy but still all the while 

They were placed in her hand and I know I saw mama smile. 

Sang: 

Flowers for mama I picked them today 

Not very much, just a simple bouquet 

Mom wasn't so fancy but up there above 

She's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love.
