lyrics

Please send me flowers, send them to me
Send me flowers for peace
Send me some flowers please send them C.O.D.
Send me flowers for peace

Why can't it be Christmas every day?
Why can't the sun shine our way?
Tell me how you feel so afraid?
Why does it have to be this way, and I say

Where will the children learn to play?
When do old wounds heal and fade away?
Tell me why you give them any time of day?
Why still live yesterday today, anyway

Please send me flowers send them to me
Send me flowers for peace
Send me some flowers please send them C.O.D.
Send me flowers for peace
