Yesterday oh how many do you wish you could relive Turn the page and go back oh I wonder what you'd give Looking back does it seem when you've planned when you've dreamed You forgot the most important thing Smell the flowers while the roses bloom take the time my friend and sing a happy tune Oh how precious every mile so take a minute learn to smile My friend let's stop a while and smell the flowers (smell the flowers) [ guitar ] Got a troubled mind friend if you let too much worry rule your days When you look back do you feel like something precious slipped away Oh my friend are you the man that the world slip through his hands Can you remember when you smelled the flowers Smell the flowers... Smell the flowers...
