Tanya Tucker’s “Bring My Flowers Now” Lyrics Meaning
Tanya Tucker’s “Bring My Flowers Now” takes the old adage ‘give a person their flowers while they can still smell them’ and amplifies it to the Nth degree. It is based on the same exact concept, of appreciating somebody while they are still alive. For there is no way to express love to someone who is no longer here to receive it.
Or viewed from a different perspective, Tucker not only wants to show people in her life love while she still can. But she also desires to receive such affection from those who care about her also while she is still on the mortal plane. Indeed reflecting back on her own life, she wishes she had done more for instance in being “a better daughter” to her mom.
And to make a long story short, the songstress uses a few effective metaphors in pointing to the fact that none of us are here forever, nor do any of us know when we’re going. Therefore whoever you feel compelled to ‘bring flowers’ to, there is no better time to do so than “now”.
