From: topical tom I just remembered another beautiful bluegrass song but I'm not at all sure that that's the title.The chorus was somewhat like this: I'm gathering flowers to make a bouquet, Beautiful flowers that will never fade away. Each one I gather's so precious to me, Each one a treasure of sweet memories. In the ensuing verses, each flower represents a member of the beloved family.I may have heard it sung by The Country Gentlemen" but I'm not sure of that either! Sorry I can't be more specific. |

The title is "Beautiful Bouquet"!I wasn't even close! Beautiful Bouquet For pleasure I went walking out through the fields one day I started gathering flowers to make a sweet bouquet Each flower that I gathered. each one played a part Each flower stood for someone held dear to my heart Beautiful bouquet I'm gathering today Picking the colours that'll never fade away Each flower has a meaning so dear to me Each flower is a treasure chestof sweet memories Violets for my sweetheart, a white rose for my dad A red rose stood for mother, the best friend that I had Forget-me-nots stood faithfully for tried true friends of mine Daisies for the puppy loves that I left far behind Lilies are for grandma, who watches from afar Poppies are for brother, who lost his life at war I put them all together, tomake a sweet bouquet A rainbow full of colours that will never fade away |
