The Carter Family - You Are My Flower

Copied!

{Verse 1}
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

{Verse 2}
The air is just as pure, the sunlight just as free
And nature seems to say it's all for you and me

{Chorus}
You are my flower that's blooming in the mountain for me
You are my flower that's blooming there for me

{Verse 3}
So wear a happy smile and life will be worthwhile
Forget the tears but don't forget to smile

{Chorus}
You are my flower that's blooming in the mountain for me
You are my flower that's blooming there for me

{Verse 4}
When summertime is past and snow begins to fall
Just sing this song and say to one and all

{Chorus}
You are my flower that's blooming in the mountain for me
You are my flower that's blooming there for me
