Nana Mouskouri - Half A Crown Lyrics

Violets, roses and daffodils

Just take a bunch

For your window sill

Buy you some flowers

And watch the world change

Flowers make your heart free

They'll bring you back love

Wait and see



Chorus



Won't somebody buy

Won't somebody buy

Won't somebody take a flower

There are only half a crown



I've walked these streets

All of my years

I know their laughter

I know their tears

I hold their joys

And shared all their fears

I walk these streets

Through the hours

Asking the world

To buy my flowers



I had a love

Long long ago

He needed me

And I loved him so

He marched away

To die by the gun

I lay a rose as I pass

Where he lies cold

Under the sun



Violets, roses, and daffodils

Just take a bunch for the window sill

Buy you some flowers

And watch the world change

Flowers make the worls free

They'll bring back love

Wait and see



Won't somebode buy

Won't somebody buy
