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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/john+williamson/flower+on+the+water_20724384.html ]
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
