Thread Name: Lyr Add: Some Carter Family songs.
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU ARE MY FLOWER (A P Carter)^^
YOU ARE MY FLOWER (this version has 2 more verses than the one in DigiTrad).
(A. P. Carter)

The grass is just as green; the sky is just as blue.
The day is just as bright; the birds are singing too.

(Chorus:)
You are my flower that's blooming in the mountain for me.
You are my flower that's blooming there for me.

The hour is just as pure; the sunlight just as free.
And nature seems to say it's all for you and me. (Chorus)

So wear a happy smile and life will be worthwhile.
Forget your tears and don't forget to smile. (Chorus)

When summertime has passed and snow begins to fall,
Just sing this song and say to one and all. (Chorus)

As recorded by the Carter Family, Decca 5692, 1938.
