Here we stand Like an adam and an eve Waterfalls The garden of eden Two fools in love So beautiful and strong The birds in the trees Are smiling upon them From the age of the dinosaurs Cars have run on gasoline Where, where have they gone? Now, its nothing but flowers
There was a factory Now there are mountains and rivers You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake Now we got something for dinner We got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall Now its all covered with flowers Youve got it, youve got it
If this is paradise I wish I had a lawnmower Youve got it, youve got it
Years ago I was an angry young man Id pretend That I was a billboard Standing tall By the side of the road I fell in love With a beautiful highway This used to be real estate Now its only fields and trees Where, where is the town Now, its nothing but flowers The highways and cars Were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that wed start over But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots Now its a peaceful oasis You got it, you got it
This was a pizza hut Now its all covered with daisies You got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks, Dairy queens, and 7-elevens You got it, you got it
And as things fell apart Nobody paid much attention You got it, you got it
I dream of cherry pies, Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies You got it, you got it
We used to microwave Now we just eat nuts and berries You got it, you got it
This was a discount store, Now its turned into a cornfield You got it, you got it
Dont leave me stranded here I cant get used to this lifestyle

When I first held you I was cold A melting snowman I was told But there was no-one there to hold Before I swore that I would be alone forever more Wow, look at you now Flowers in the window Its such a lovely day And Im glad that you feel the same cos to stand up Im in the crowd You are one in a million And I love you so lets watch the flowers grow There is no reason to feel bad But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold But I am here to help you with the load Wow, look at you now Flowers in the window Its such a lovely day And Im glad that you feel the same cos to stand up Im in the crowd You are one in a million And I love you so lets watch the flowers grow So now were heer and now is fine So far away from there And there is time, time, time To plant new seeds and watch them grow So therell be flowers in the window when we go Wow, look at you now Flowers in the window Its such a lovely day And Im glad that you feel the same cos to stand up Im in the crowd You are one in a million And I love you so lets watch the flowers grow Wow, look at you now Flowers in the window Its such a lovely day And Im glad that you feel the same cos to stand up Im in the crowd You are one in a million And I love you so lets watch the flowers grow Lets watch the flowers grow
The grey of winter falls on us How will our garden grow? Will all the seeds we've sown Survive beneath the snow? We've been here before Wrapped in our regret All those winter words I want us to forget them...
Seasons may change And they hold wild flowers Raising their face to the sun. All that are born from our soft rainshowers Are wild flowers
Morning breaks And no-one wakes; No bird is here to sing. So, from the south I wish them back To grace the spring They've flown south before, It's just the way they live. For when I try to fly away can you forgive me?
Seasons may change and they hold wild flowers......

My house is made of flowers The warm winds carpet the floor Whenever there's spring showers I open the rainbow door The frog, the toad, the turtle All make my home their home My curtains are crape mottle And the firefly flies neath my dome I've never had money And i'll never need none The moon is my lamp And my clock is the sun My home's a home For all those things What grows, what flies, what sings If it all sounds tempting And it do you entice I show to the heavens That it do make it nice Won't you come live with me I'd come live with me, If i were you...if i were you!

I don't know how I'd forgotten about this one either...It's by one of my favorite artists....and always hit close to home with me....cuz I love magnolias.
Dan Fogelberg....Sweet Magnolia
Two hearts Throwing off sparks Young and in love with Our freedom Moonlight, Those soft, southern nights We were both ripe to fall.
I was Out on my own Playing for all who Would listen You were As free as a bird Flying from nest to nest.
But somewhere our eyes met And our hands reached out And we felt a kindred spirit And as our faces touched I could feel the fire And needed so to just Be near it.
Oh, lord Those moments we soared Borne on the wings of Our passion It seemed then Like they'd never end But times like that Always must.
'cause then one day I flew Far away from you I never knew how I'd regret it My sweet magnolia belle You know I've loved you well Even if I never said it.
Magnolia, now I see That freedom isn't free And love's the only true Redeemer And when this journey's Through I'll be coming back for you If you'll have this Foolish dreamer.
I spend A night now and then Passing through town on My travels But someday I'm gonna come back to stay Magnolia, I'm coming home.

Artist: The Foundations Song: Build Me Up Buttercup
Why do you build me up (Build me up) Buttercup baby just to let me down (Let me down) And mess me around And then worst of all (Worst of all) You never call baby When you say you will (Say you will) But I love you still I need you (I need you) More than anyone darlin' You know that I have from the start
So build me up (Build me up) Buttercup Don't break my heart I'll be over at ten You tell me time and again But you're late I wait around and then I went to the door I can't take any more It's not you You let me down again
Baby Baby Try to find a little time And I'll make you happy I'll be home I'll be waiting beside the phone Waiting for you.
Why do you build me up.... To you I'm a toy But I could be the boy You adore If you'd just let me know Although you're untrue I'm attracted to you All the more Why do I need you so Baby Baby.....
ooh ooh ooh Why do build me up .....

Woah, baby Always be Did I say Woah baby
From this day until the day we throw it all away Lets talk about it 'cause I ca't do without it Your love. it means so much to me Can't you see, right here I'll always be

Woah baby
I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain Did you know living without you is driving me insane I'll bring you flowers, I'll make your day The tears you cry, I'll dry them all away
Woah baby Always be And if one day you went away
I'd feel so lonely inside I can't deny that I would break down and cry And all those flowers they would wilt in the rain And it would cause me misery and pain Because I need you so
Woah baby
I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain Did you know living without you is driving me insane I'll bring you flowers, I'll make your day The tears you cry, I'll dry them all away
Woah, baby

Woah, baby Always be Did I say
I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain Did you know living without you is driving me insane I'll bring you flowers, I'll make your day The tears you cry, I'll dry them all away
by Scott McKenzie If you're going to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you're goin' to San Francisco You're gonna meet some gentle people there For those who come to San Francisco Summer time will be a love-in there In the streets of San Francisco Gentle people with flowers in their hair All across the nation Such a strong vibration People in motion There's a whole generation With a new explanation People in motion People in motion For those who come to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you come to San Francisco Summer time will be a love-in there If you come to San Francisco Summer time will be a love-in there

Hey Raven! Your song could have gone under the 'colors' section too!!!
Here's an old one
Artist: Cowsills Song: The rain, the park, and other things Album: Best Of Cowsills
I saw her sitting in the rain Raindrops falling on her She didn't seem to care She sat there and smiled at me
Then I knew (I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew) She could make me happy (happy... happy) (She could make me very happy) Flowers in her hair (in her hair) Flowers everywhere (everywhere)
(I love the flower girl) Oh I don't know just why; she simply caught my eye (I love the flower girl) She seemed so sweet and kind; she crept into my mind (To my mind... to my mind)
I knew I had to say hello (hello... hello) She smiled up at me And she took my hand and we walked through the park alone
And I knew (I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew) She had made me happy (happy... happy) (She had made me very happy) Flowers in her hair (in her hair) Flowers everywhere (everywhere)
(I love the flower girl) Oh I don't know just why; she simply caught my eye (I love the flower girl) She seemed so sweet and kind; she crept into my mind (To my mind ... to my mind)
Suddenly, the sun broke through (See the sun) I turned around she was gone (Where did she go) And all I had left was one little flower in my hand
But I knew (I knew... I knew... I knew... I knew) She had made me happy (happy... happy) (She had made me very happy) Flowers in her hair (in her hair) Flowers everywhere (everywhere)
(I love the flower girl) Was she reality or just a dream to me (I love the flower girl) Her love showed me the way to find a sunny day (Sunny day... sunny day... sunny day)
(I love the flower girl) Was she reality or just a dream to me

Where have the flowers gone sun-children Your shirts are loud and your hair is long Now do you ever think we'll make it Something more than a uniform
And we're almost there We learn to love and we learn to give And we earn the flowers in our hair
Where has the vision gone sun-children Colours glow but your eyes are closed I swear I still believe we'll make it In your eyes I see your soul
And we're almost there We learn to love and we learn to give And we earn the flowers in our hair my friend So take my hand One day is always too far away
I wish we had the hearts of children Their eyes are wide and their love is pure But we only dare to say 'please love me' At the seventh glass of wine....

Okay....let's try the song topic using FLOWERS....
Here's one that should make ya's giggle...
BRAD PAISLEY LYRICS
Ticks
Every time you take a sip In this smoky atmosphere You press that bottle to your lips And I wish I was your beer In the small there of your back Your jeans are playing peekaboo I'd like to see the other half of your butterfly tattoo.
Hey that gives me an idea Let's get out of this bar Drive out into the country And find a place to park.
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers And I'd like to check you for ticks.
I know the perfect little path Out in these woods I used to hunt Don't worry babe I've got your back And I've also got your front Now, I'd hate to waste a night like this
I'll keep you safe you wait and see The only thing allowed to crawl all over you when we get there is me.
You know every guy in here tonight Would like to take you home But I've got way more class than them Babe that ain't what I want.
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers And I'd like to check you for ticks.
You never know where one might be There's lots of places that are hard to reach I gotcha.
I'd like to see you out in the moonlight I'd like to kiss you baby way back in the sticks I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers And I'd like to check you for ticks.
I'd sure like to check you for ticks...
