Something You'd Have Liked

[Verse 1 .] There's a florist on the corner I know I've seen you there Staring at the flowers And the beauty they all share I always said I'd buy you some It's a promise I should keep The least that I could do The gesture a little late [Chorus ] So I'll pick you something pretty Something you'd have liked Something you could've carried Something I got right And I'll take it where you're waiting I'll take it where you lie I'll leave it there beside you And tell you one more time [Verse 2 ] I always liked the red ones The depth in all the hues But you'd probably say they're gaudy I know they'd never do Your tastes are a little rustic Your style a little bare The way you wore your coat The way you part your hair [Chorus] So I'll pick you something pretty Something you'd have liked Something you could've carried Something I got right And I'll take it where you're waiting I'll take it where you lie I'll leave it there beside you And tell you one more time [Verse 3] I can practically hear you say it I can see your knowing stare "Don't waste all your money There's a wild one growing there" [Build] So I'll pick you a wildflower Every colour I can find It'll brighten up the grave And let you know you're still mine [Final Chorus] So I picked you something pretty Something you'd have liked Something you could've carried Something I got right And I'll bring them where you're waiting I'll bring them where you lie I'll leave them there beside you And tell you one more time [Outro] I wish I got them earlier I wish I could see your smile I didn't take the moment I didn't find the time I hope you like your flowers They're wild, just like you ...It's too late to say I'm sorry But this is what I can do...
