(The marigolds, the buttercups, the roses, and the other ones) Remember the flowers Remember what you had lost Remember the flowers The TV screen's turning off Remember the flowers Something in the marigolds Why has it gotten so cold? Suppose that we'll never know My friends and foes Their heads to their toes A blank static screen Are you listening? These were the flowers that you used to smell Please, we don't wanna see you go to hell These were the flowers that you used to smell Please, you were always there when hands were held You never see it on their face (So long, so long) You never see it till it's gone (It's gone, it's gone) You never see it when you're young (You're young, you're young) You never see it till it's gone (It's gone, it's gone) Remember the flowers Remember what you had lost Remember the flowers The TV screen's turning off Remember the flowers Something in the marigolds Why has it gotten so cold? Suppose that we'll never know (The marigolds, the buttercups, the roses, and the other ones) (The other stuff from the garden) (But you forgot the buttercups) These were the flowers that you used to smell Please, we don't wanna see you go to hell These were the flowers that you used to smell Please, you were always there when hands were held (So long, so long) (It's gone, it's gone)
