Tulips And Heather Lyrics - Perry Como

A spray of tulips and heather, tied up together 

I sent my love today 

A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether 

Love's dream had gone astray! 

For there's a meaning to all the flowers 

They tell a story that never lies! 

This purple heather, means lonely hours 

And tulips weep for a love that dies! 

And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you 

All that is in my heart 

My spray of tulips and heather, bring us together 

Never again to part! 

( For there's a meaning ) My tulips and heather! 

( To all the flowers ) Are tied up together! 

( They tell a story . . . ) They tell you a tale . . . that never lies! 

( This purple heather . . . ) This beautiful heather . . . 

( Means lonely hours . . . ) Means lonely forever . . . 

( And tulips weep for . . . ) These tulips convey a love that dies! 

And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you 

All that is in my heart 

My spray of tulips and heather, brings us together 

Never again to part . . . 

Darling! Never again to part . . .
