Lyrics

Grocery Store Bouquet
Kristen Budde & Deborah Dawn Olson

Maggie fills that old Mason jar
While she’s nursing her broken heart
One by one the flowers take up space
Thinking ‘bout better times
Looking in her boy’s big brown eyes
Wishing he was with her still today

The flowers remind her to lean toward the light
Even when it’s dark, life’s still worth the fight
Reaching and longing for another sun’s ray
Like daisies in a grocery store bouquet

His laughter used to fill this place
Now she stands here with a tear-stained face
Little Joey’s life ended far too soon
The memories can be hard to hold
Hospital rooms sterile and cold
But hope lingers where the petals bloom

The flowers remind her to lean toward the light
Even when it’s dark, life’s still worth the fight
Reaching and longing for another sun’s ray
Like daisies in a grocery store bouquet

Only God sees what’s behind our eyes
Hurts our hearts carry as stripes
The simple things can go a long, long way

Like the flowers remind us to lean toward the light
Even when it’s dark, life’s still worth the fight
Reaching and longing for another sun’s ray
The flowers remind us to lean toward the light
Even when it’s dark, life’s still worth the fight
Reaching and longing for another sun’s ray
Like daisies in a grocery store bouquet
Daisies in a grocery store bouquet
Oh, daisies in a grocery store bouquet
