Artificial Flowers
Oh beautiful for cloudy skies
That tremble now with rain
I never meant to break your heart
Or cause you any pain
I only meant to make you laugh
If only for a while
The greatest gift I ever had
Is the memory of your smile
Our paths just crossed a bit too late
But hey, what can you do
I never did believe in fate
But I believed in you
A lot gets lost but something's gained
With love as brief as ours
It's ever bright and never changes
Like artificial flowers
They need no sunlight
No roots or soil
Or water to keep them alive
No gardener's hand to bend and toil
Or miss them when they die
So don't write me letters don't read me books
To pass away the hours
When I'm old and gray send me a big bouquet
Of artificial flowers
That tremble now with rain
I never meant to break your heart
Or cause you any pain
I only meant to make you laugh
If only for a while
The greatest gift I ever had
Is the memory of your smile
Our paths just crossed a bit too late
But hey, what can you do
I never did believe in fate
But I believed in you
A lot gets lost but something's gained
With love as brief as ours
It's ever bright and never changes
Like artificial flowers
They need no sunlight
No roots or soil
Or water to keep them alive
No gardener's hand to bend and toil
Or miss them when they die
So don't write me letters don't read me books
To pass away the hours
When I'm old and gray send me a big bouquet
Of artificial flowers
