~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!

the rose of tralee

\The pale moon was rising above the green mountains
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain
That stands in the beautiful Vale of Tralee

She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet ‘twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no ‘twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee.

The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
And Mary all smiling was listening to me
The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee

She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet ‘twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no ‘twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee

In the far fields of India ‘mid war’s bloody thunders
Her voice was solace and comfort to me
But the cool hand of death has now torn us asunder
I’m lonely tonight for my Rose of Tralee

She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet ‘twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no ‘twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee

She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet ‘twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no ‘twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee

Gustave Lange: "Flower Song"

Lange was a German bandmaster who wrote a lot of piano music in addition to wind band pieces. This little waltz was used a lot in silent movies as background music.

John Fullbright "The Flower Song"

One of the "truest" tunes I've heard in some time. Gonna have to search for more John Fullbright & thanks ever so for posting this! *Hugs*

[redangus]

This doesn’t have anything to do with flowers, but since we are talking songs I am hoping someone can help me out. The song I am thinking about starts out with a guy singing about his wedding day and the girl he is marrying. But by the end of the song you find out that the girl is marrying someone else and he is just at the wedding dreaming about what he hoped would be. I thought it was a Bobby Vinton song, but When I look at his greatest hits record nothing like this comes up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
