V4.5-ALL

Chorus
Will you bring me flowers at sunset
When the evening sky turns gold
Something bright to make me smile
When my world grows tired and old
When the days begin to fade me
And the nights turn soft and long
Will you bring me flowers at sunset
And stay with me awhile
(instrumental flow — guitar + fiddle carry waltz rhythm forward, no silence)
Verse 1
I remember my sister and me running through the grass
Wildflowers held in our hands
We’d carry them home as the daylight slipped away
Just to see Mum smile again
She’d place them in jars in our little old bus
Smiling as the daylight poured in
Funny how flowers could brighten our world
And make hard times softer somehow
(instrumental continuation — gentle rhythmic guitar, light fiddle response phrases)
Chorus
Will you bring me flowers at sunset
When the evening sky burns low
Something bright and soft and simple
As the years all come and go
When my hair has turned to silver
And my hands have weathered slow
Will you bring me flowers at sunset
And stay with me awhile
(instrumental flow — steady waltz pulse continues, no break in rhythm)
Verse 2
Time has a way of quietly passing
Like sunsets slipping out of sight
But I still stop for fields full of wildflowers
Glowing in the evening light
I saw bouquets carried into warm doorways
Faces all shining with love
And wondered what it might feel like someday
To be remembered that way
(instrumental continuation — fiddle and guitar interweave softly)
Bridge
If you ever think of me in the evening glow
When the sky turns soft and slow
Let it be like wildflowers in your hand
Something warm you already know
Final Chorus
Will you bring me flowers at sunset
When the day gives way to night
Lay them gently in the fading
Of the soft and golden light
When the world grows quiet around me
And the evening feels so slow
Will you bring me flowers at sunset
And let that feeling grow
Outro
Just leave a little love
In the sunset glow
With wildflowers swaying softly
Where the warm winds go
(instrumental fade — waltz rhythm continues gently until silence)
