The Beatles, Flowers, and Love
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
—A White Sports Coat (and A Pink Carnation)* (1957)
I send you flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me and love love love
—Hello Little Girl (1957)
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
—Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds (1967)
Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature's son
Swaying daisies, sing a lazy song
Beneath the sun
—Mother Nature's Son (1968)
Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now
And linger on my mind
Leave your flowers at my door
I'll leave them for the one who waits behind
—Goodbye (1968)
Some call it magic
The search for the grail
Love is the answer
And you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it grow
—Mind Games (1970, 1973)
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre
—Mull of Kintyre (1977)
All through the summer, I have followed you around
Bringing a rose for the winter that's coming
Now the snow is on the ground...
Love awake to the day
When we can make our love awake
—Winter Rose/Love Awake (1978)
You want a love to last forever
One that will never fade away
I want to help you with your problem
Stick around, I say
Coming up, coming up, yeah
Coming up like a flower
Coming up, I say
—Coming Up (1979)
If you'll forgive me my little flower princess
Never too late unless you can't forgive
Time is on our side
Let's not waste another minute
'Cause I love you my little friend
I really love you
Give me just one more chance
And I'll show you, take up the dance
Where we left off
—Forgive Me (My Little Flower Princess)** (1980)
After hours
Late in the bar
By a darkened corner seat
Faded flowers wait in the jar
Till the evening is complete
—Take It Away (1981)
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt
I know I'll never see her face
She walks away from my resting place
That day is done, that day is done
You know where I've gone
I won't be coming back
That day is done
—That Day Is Done (1988)
