G                               D
In this world today where we're living
                                    G
Some folks say the worst of us they can
                                C
But when we are dead and in our caskets
     G                D             G
They always slip some lilies in our hands

Will you give me my flowers while I'm livin' 
and let me enjoy them while I can?
Don't wait 'til I'm ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand

In this world is where we need our flowers
And a kind word to help us get along
So if you can't give me flowers while I'm livin'
Then please, don't throw them when I'm gone 

Will you give me my flowers while I'm livin' 
and let me enjoy them while I can?
Don't wait 'til I'm ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand

Don't wait 'til I'm ready to be buried
And then slip some lilies in my hand
