My Flower

First time that I heard it many years ago
Listening to the Opry on my dad’s radio
I learned it for my babies to calm their troubled sleep
And darling, if you want my love forever yours to keep

You can sing
“You Are My Flower”
Any time of day any time of night
And it won’t matter what the hour
If you sing
"You Are My Flower”
I know everything will be alright

The smell of burning palm
When the sky turns green
Or Wilford Brimley entering a scary movie scene

These things give me comfort and offer some relief
And just like that old love song and timeless melody
Playing like the soundtrack of my life
Blooming in the mountains so high
