Lyrics
1. If in your heart there’s a spark, a burning
If in your heart there’s a lonesome yearning
If you find one you love madly
If words to say fail you sadly
I’ve found the answer
And this is how to tell her
Chorus:
Say it with flowers, the fairest that grow
Roses as red as the dawn’s rosy glow
Tulips, carnations and violets, too
They’ll bear a message from you
Say it with flowers of every hue
Warmed by the sunshine and kissed by the dew
Say it with flowers from love’s sweetest bowers
And you’ll find her waiting, waiting for you
2. The rose will tell that you love her dearly
The violets that you love sincerely
The lily speaks of devotion
With love as deep as the ocean
Each little flower will tell her that you love her
