The Flower I Blessed for You

Bob Nolan
Original copyright: March 19, 1947

Please take this flower I blessed for you.
You’ll find a prayer on each petal, too.
Keep it forever while we’re apart
And, as you hold it, you’ll hold my heart.

I have tried to write to you all day
But one word is all there’ll ever be.
With your name I start—
That’s all that fills my heart—
So I’ll let this flower speak for me.

Keep it forever while we’re apart
And, as you hold it, you’ll hold my heart.

We found no sheet music or lyric sheet, so we have used the words Bob sang with the Sons of the Pioneers in 1947 on Teleways Radio Productions transcription No. 149. The song was registered for copyright on March 19, 1947 as “The Flower I Pressed for You” and renewed again in 2004 as "The Flower I Blessed for You." There is no commercial recording, and it was used only once on one transcription.

We do not have any sheet music for this song.
