In the spring, magnolias
If I’m called in the summer or in the fall
Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet
In the dirt and clay don’t lay me down
And stare at a cold lonely hole in the ground
When I go to my Maker in smoke and ash
It won’t be your grief I crave
Your tears will not be necessary
Build a blazing fire, drink something merry
When the sparks fly off into the wind
That will be me blowing away
Bury my ashes with the dogs I’ve loved
My faithful companions from God above
And ‘neath a sycamore we’ll grow strong
And the roots will bear us away
If my one true Love should join me there
Mother nature soon will be aware
That sycamore will thrum and sing
And we’ll have left it that way
So I don’t want you to feel sorry
God knows how I despise your pity
And I’ll no longer bear the weight of worry
Those angry robes all fall away
I’ll be singing loud and laughing long
A blaze of glory and an untold song
So there’s no need for tears my friend
Just bring a wildflower bouquet
If I die in the winter send roses
In the springtime, magnolias
If I’m called in the summer or in the fall
Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet
Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet
If I die in the winter send roses In the spring, magnolias If I’m called in the summer or in the fall Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet In the dirt and clay don’t lay me down And stare at a cold lonely hole in the ground When I go to my Maker in smoke and ash It won’t be your grief I crave Your tears will not be necessary Build a blazing fire, drink something merry When the sparks fly off into the wind That will be me blowing away Bury my ashes with the dogs I’ve loved My faithful companions from God above And ‘neath a sycamore we’ll grow strong And the roots will bear us away If my one true Love should join me there Mother nature soon will be aware That sycamore will thrum and sing And we’ll have left it that way So I don’t want you to feel sorry God knows how I despise your pity And I’ll no longer bear the weight of worry Those angry robes all fall away I’ll be singing loud and laughing long A blaze of glory and an untold song So there’s no need for tears my friend Just bring a wildflower bouquet If I die in the winter send roses In the springtime, magnolias If I’m called in the summer or in the fall Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet Explain Request ×
