lyrics

I could lay flowers on the grave / of a man I couldn’t change
Or maybe by a soul that I never knew
I was just driving by / And thought that I’d say “Hi”
With the flowers that I got from an old friend

I could spend days in a cloud / Hardly look around
Just so wrapped up in the old news
Finally found it in a rain / And thought that I’d stop by
With some flowers that a friend was gonna throw away

If you’re gonna die tomorrow / Could you let me know today?
I might I think a little harder / About the words I need to say

After I went to the grave / I walked through the park
And saw a wood bench with an old name
Huh - she was 52 / Did the math and sat down
Then I thought about the day that I found out

If you’re gonna die tomorrow / Could you let me know today?
I might I think a little harder / About the words I need to say

And If you’re gonna die tomorrow / Could you let me know today?
I might I think a little harder / About the words I need to say

Those flowers weren’t mine
Can’t let em go to waste
To give them away
Those flowers weren’t mine
Can’t let ‘em go to waste

And if you’re gonna die/ Don’t let it be tomorrow/
Or could you let me know?/ ‘Cause I have words to say
And if you’re gonna die/ Don’t let me know tomorrow
Or you could you let me know? / About a man I couldn’t change

And if you’re gonna die tomorrow / Could you let me know today?
I might think a little harder / About a man I couldn’t change
If you’re gonna die tomorrow / Could you let me know today?
I might think a little harder / About the words I couldn’t say

And if you’re gonna die / Don’t let it be tomorrow
Or could you let me know? / ‘Cause I have things to say
And if you’re gonna die / Don’t let it be tomorrow
I might think a little harder / ‘Bout a man I couldn’t change
About a man I couldn’t change
About man I couldn’t change, change, change, change, change
And what I would have said
It’s really hard to say, say, say, say
