Tanya Tucker - Bring my flowers now (lyric)

Tanya Tucker,
Bring my flowers now Lyric video
Album : While I'm Living

[Spoken Intro]
So I said, "Listen, I got..." and I said, uh, somethin' about, uh, goin' to somebody's funeral or something. She... I said, "Man," I said, I said, "Bring my flowers now, while I'm living"

[Chorus]
Bring my flowers now, while I'm living
I won't need your love when I'm gone
Don't spend time, tears, or money
On my old breathless body
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on

[Verse 1]
All the miles cast a long shadow
I'd take a couple back if I could
I'd have learned to play guitar
Tell my daddy more I loved him
But I believe, for the most part, I done good

[Verse 2]
There's always sunrise and rainbows and babies
And the little things I cherish on my way
Even though one day
They'll bury me and Jesse Ray
I just know we're gonna ride again someday

[Chorus]
Bring my flowers now, while I'm living
I won't need your love when I'm gone
Don't spend time, tears, or money
On my ol' breathless body
Well, if your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on

[Verse 3]
The days are long, but the years are lightning
They're bright and they will never strike again
I wish I'd been a better friend
A better daughter to my mother
There's no going back when your back's against the wind

[Verse 4]
So if you got love, then you're sittin' on a gold mine
And you can't take it with you when you go
So don't wait to help your sister
Forgive your brother and your neighbor
We all think we've got the time until we don't

[Chorus]
Bring my flowers now, while I'm living
I won't need your love when I'm gone
Don't spend time, tears, or money
On my old breathless body
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on

Wow Tanya what a great song. Really speaks to my soul. I have 2 sons and I really never see them now that they are grown and living their own lives. We all live close but honestly they don't have time for Mom and it breaks my heart. I'm sending this song to the both of them and praying it touches them.

I diagnosed with Terminal Multiple Myeloma Cancer in November of 2022. They can't tell me how long I have, seems like family and friends think I'm Ok cause they think I look ok and I feel as if they're not believing what I went through and what I'm going through. This song says EXACTLY what I want to tell them but in a MAN'S version. May all of you that read this be lucky to have HEALTH above ANYTHING else in life....

That's what my grandma always told me. "Give me flowers now! What good are they going to do me after I'm dead?" My mom's mom and my mom both loved flowers!

LOVE THE SONG. I AM A HUGE TANYA TUCKER FAN. I AM 75 AND LIVE ALONE. I LOST MY ONLY BROTHER WHEN I4 AND HE WAS 18. I HAVE A 57 YEAR OLD SON I STRUGGLED TO RAISE WITHOUT CHILD SUPPORT. HE LIVES LESS THAN 3 HOURS AWAY BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SINCE 2008 AND HE HAVE NOT HEARD HIS VOICE SINCE 2011. I GET AN OCCASIONAL TEXT IF I PROMPT IT. I PRAY EVERY NIGHT FOR GOD TO WARM HIS HEART AND HELP HIM WITH HIS DEMONS. HE USE TO SEND ME FLOWERS AND I MISS THAT.

My Mother always said this, I lost my Mother on Memorial Day 1980 at 23 years old. Now at 64 year's tears fall!😢 In memory of my Mother Agnes M.Gaynor April22nd 1923-May 29th 1980, I Love you Mom!❤🙏

[cindyjohnston]

Wow, so emotionally deep! Brought tears to my eyes.

[lordsonbetiku-mqnj]

I wish there's genuine love. Im only relevant when money involved. Tis life is so wicked. I wish i was one of God's angel.
I wish i can come down to earth to ensure agape love is the best. Im tired God. My addictions are making me worthless. I hope there's any Worthy flowers on earth to give out.

[bharrison]

BEAUTIFULLY DONE...FANTASTIC SONG FROM TANYA

[Augusten]

Just Amazing! Listened to this song about 100 times since last Sunday heard it on the Grammy’s!

[mariaesparza]

WOW!! That's so true, those lyrics hit right on the spot. Sometimes we can be so prideful and don't forgive little stuff but that song made me cry because I lost my brother to an heart attack and I feel I didn't give him all the hugs he deserved 😢
