GIVE ME THE ROSES WHILE I LIVE
WRITER R.H. CORNELIUS

Wonderful things of folks are said
When they have passed away
Roses adorn the narrow bed
Over the sleeping clay
Give me the roses while I live
Trying to cheer me on
Useless are flowers that you give
After the soul is gone
Let us not wait to do good deeds
Till they have passed away
Now is the time to sow good seeds
While here on earth we stay
Kind words are useless when folks lie
Cold in a narrow bed
Don't wait till death to speak kind words
Now should the words be said.
GIVE ME THE ROSES WHILE I LIVE    WRITER R.H. CORNELIUS      Wonderful things of folks are said   When they have passed away   Roses adorn the narrow bed   Over the sleeping clay   Give me the roses while I live   Trying to cheer me on   Useless are flowers that you give   After the soul is gone   Let us not wait to do good deeds   Till they have passed away   Now is the time to sow good seeds   While here on earth we stay   Kind words are useless when folks lie   Cold in a narrow bed   Don't wait till death to speak kind words   Now should the words be said.
