well if your wondering the lyrics I've been listening to it and I'm pretty sure its this I just opened my bible and it brought back times, I could see mother's tear drops on every line, there on its pages the fragments still lay a faded blue ribbon and a lilac bouquet Chorus the work gets so tender and the lily's so fair, and the blushed red rose can never compare, to my memories of mother and how she would say, "oh thank you my son for the lilac bouquet" The birds are still singing around the old home, there in the fields where I used to roam, beneath the old tree there's an old lonesome grave, where the angels came calling for mother one day... in the bright courts of heaven in the beautiful home, I could see my own mother around the white throne from the garden of Eden dear mother some day, I'll pick you another: Lilac bouquet Chorus the work gets so tender and the lily's so fair and the blushed red rose can never compare, to my memories of mother and how she would say: "oh, thank you my son for the lilac bouquet" hope this helps
