For pleasure I went walking out through the fields one day I started gathering flowers to make a sweet bouquet Each flower that I gathered each one played a part Each flower stood for someone held dear to my heart Beautiful bouquet I'm gathering today Picking the colors that will never fade away Each flower has a meaning that's so dear to me Each flower is a treasure chest of sweet memories Violets for my sweetheart a white rose for my dad A red rose stood for mother the best pal that I had Forget-me-nots stood faithfully for tried true friends of mine Daisies were for puppy loves that I left far behind Lilies are for grandma who watches from afar Poppies are for brother who lost his life at war I put them all together to make a sweet bouquet A rainbow full of colors that will never fade away
