Lyrics John Williamson

John Williamson

Flower On The Water

To hear your voice, to see you smile

To sit and talk to you awhile

To be together the same old way

That would be our greatest wish today

To hear you laugh, to hear you cry

Or just a chance to say 'goodbye'

To say the things we didn't say

That would be our greatest wish today

But all we can do is throw a flower on the water

Look for the sun through the rain

Lay a little frangipani gentle on the water

Remember how we loved you

To comb your hair, to lace your shoes

Buy some flowers, let you choose

A phone call when you're away

Just to see if you're okay
