~Favorite "Flower" Songs~
*Killswitch Engage - Rose Of Sharyn*
Now we're broken, here I stand alone Wondering what were the last words I said to you Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time,can I turn back time
What would I give to behold The smile, the face of love You never left me The Rising sun Will always speak your name
Now were broken, here I stand alone Wondering what were the last words I said to you It won't be long, we'll meet again
What would I give to behold The smile, the face of love You never left me The rising sun Will always speak your name
It won't be long, we'll meet again Your memory is never passing It won't be long, we'll meet again My love for you is everlasting
I mourn for those who never knew you I mourn for those who never knew you
It won't be long, we'll meet again Your memory is never passing It won't be long, we'll meet again My love for you is everlasting
*Jud Strunk - Daisy A Day*
He remembers the first time he met er He remembers the first thing she said He remembers the first time he held her And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of sayin Honey has somethin gone wrong He remembers the fun and the teasin And the reason he wrote er this song
Ill give you a daisy a day, dear Ill give you a daisy a day Ill love you until the rivers run still And the four winds we know blow away
They would walk down the street in the evenin And for years I would see them go by And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore r Could be seen in the gleam of their eyes
As a kid they would take me for candy And I loved to go taggin along Wed hold hands while we walked to the corner And the old man would sing er his song
Ill give you a daisy a day, dear Ill give you a daisy a day Ill love you until the rivers run still And the four winds we know blow away
Now he walks down the street in the evenin And he stops by the old candy store And I somehow believe hes believin Hes holdin er hand like before
For he feels all her love walkin with him And he smiles at the things she might say Then the old man walks up to the hilltop And gives her a daisy a day
Ill give you a daisy a day, dear Ill give you a daisy a day Ill love you until the rivers run still And the four winds we know blow away
*Carmen "Flower Song" - Placido Domingo*
Don José La fleur que tu m'avais jetée dans ma prison m'était restée, flétrie et sèche, cette fleur gardait toujours sa douce odeur; et pendant des heures entières, sur mes yeux, fermant mes paupières, de cette odeur je m'enivrais et dans la nuit je te voyais! Je me prenais à te maudire, à te détester, à me dire: pourquoi faut-il que le destin l'ait mise là sur mon chemin! Puis je m'accusais de blasphème, et je ne sentais en moi-même, je ne sentais qu'un seul désir, un seul désir, un seul espoir: te revoir, ô Carmen, oui, te revoir! Car tu n'avais eu qu'à paraître, qu'à jeter un regard sur moi, pour t'emparer de tout mon être, ô ma Carmen! Et j'étais une chose à toi! Carmen, je t'aime!
In prison I kept lovingly The flower you had thrown at me. Though it had faded and turned dry, It still smelled sweet as time went by; And I would put that special flower On my closed eyes, hour after hour. Drunk with that fragrance, I felt light, And there I saw you in the night! At times I would begin to hate you, To curse you and to execrate you, To say: why did it have to be That fate brought her so close to me! Then I thought that faith had defied me, And I only felt deep inside me, I only felt but one desire, But one desire, one hope, one yen, To see you, Carmen, yes, see you again! For all you needed was to be there, To throw a fleeting glance my way, To have full mastery of me there, Oh, Carmen, dear! And all you did with me was play! Carmen, I love you!

Flower of Scotland. The tune is great and so are the words
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
Lie thick and still,
O’er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
They must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward’s Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Good evening, AZ, and thanks for the red, white, and blue tribute. (I’m home getting all my tax stuff together....took the afternoon off, and took my Mom for a haircut, too.)
Did you have an uneventful commute? Any menacing piggies? *HUGS*

Hiya Tweeze & great to see you! *Hugs*
“Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave”
Sniff....such touching lyrics right? ;-}
