(Chorus)
Don’t bring me my flowers
In the early afternoon
Don’t bring me my flowers
There’s so much more to do
I want to play the world a tune or two
I want to sing you just one more song
The one that says if we could measure love
Ours would be ninety boxcars long
I want to climb a ladder to the stars
Build a bubble gum canoe
I want to ride my lawnmower to the store
And come back home with you
(Chorus)
I want to dance with you all through the night
Into the morning sun
I want to hang out with a breakfast crowd
Win a race that can’t be won
I want to rock our babies to and fro
Soak up the love they bring
I want to write you a letter
Say, “You are the sweetest song I sing”
(Chorus)
Don’t bring me my flowers
In the early afternoon
Don’t bring me my flowers
There’s so much more to do
Don’t bring me my flowers
In the early afternoon
Don’t bring me my flowers
I’ve still some left to bloom
