“This Bouquet”

This bouquet of flowers didn’t come from the flower shop
I know they’re not a lot to offer to you
But they’re all that I’ve got for you

This bouquet of flowers that I picked for you today
Help me tell the things to you
I could never say to you

Oh, I can’t bring a diamond ring, a pearl in an oyster shell
But I hope that this bouquet
Will tell you just as well, I love you

There are treasures in this world I’d like to give to you
But today, this bouquet’s the best that I can do

Please take my bouquet
That I offer you today

[break]

This bouquet of flowers that I picked for you today
Help me tell the things to you
I could never say

Please take my bouquet
That I offer you today
Oh, won’t you please take my bouquet
That I offer you today?
