Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington - Flower Is A Lovesome Thing, A

A flower is a lovesome thing
A luscious living lovesome thing
A daffodil, a rose, no matter where it grows
is such a lovely lovesome thing

A flower is the heart of spring
that makes the rolling hillsides sing
the gentle winds that blow
blow gently for they know
a flower is a lovesome thing

Playing in the breeze
Swaying with the trees
In the silent night
Or in the morning light
such a miracle

Azaleas drinking pale moonbeams
Gardenias floating through daydreams
Wherever they may grow
No matter where you go
A flower is a lovesome thing
