Flowers and Champagne
Take a last, longing look
Time to say goodbye to her warming light and
Night is coming in
In another life, she's sailing
Chasing down the day while it leaves and
He is standing on the sand
Holding flowers and champagne
Tonight he's counting fifty years
Since he saw her face in person, though he
Sees it every day
And he's almost her age
In that other life, she's drinking
The gallons of champagne that he pours
Into the ocean on her day
How bittersweet the taste
Of flowers and champagne
From the little boy she raised
Now he's almost her age
And she's his first hello
Now he greets the night
When, fifty years ago
The sun set on her life
With flowers and champagne
He reckons with the pain
He sings his mother's name
An evergreen refrain
His son will do the same
And the sun comes 'round again
Time to say goodbye to her warming light and
Night is coming in
In another life, she's sailing
Chasing down the day while it leaves and
He is standing on the sand
Holding flowers and champagne
Tonight he's counting fifty years
Since he saw her face in person, though he
Sees it every day
And he's almost her age
In that other life, she's drinking
The gallons of champagne that he pours
Into the ocean on her day
How bittersweet the taste
Of flowers and champagne
From the little boy she raised
Now he's almost her age
And she's his first hello
Now he greets the night
When, fifty years ago
The sun set on her life
With flowers and champagne
He reckons with the pain
He sings his mother's name
An evergreen refrain
His son will do the same
And the sun comes 'round again
