Flowers mean forgiveness, I heard a poet say, When you need forgiveness, You give her a bouquet, Flowers mean forgiveness, My darling, here I stand, Asking your forgiveness, With flowers in my hand. As sure as I was wrong when I made you cry, I know that you'd be wrong if you say goodbye. Take these lovely flowers, or they'll be lonely too. Flowers mean forgiveness, forgive me, say you do.
