Tulips and Heather   A spray of tulips and heather, tied up together I sent my love today A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether Love's dream had gone astray!   For there's a meaning to all the flowers They tell a story that never lies! This purple heather, means lonely hours And tulips weep for a love that dies!   And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you All that is in my heart My spray of tulips and heather, bring us together Never again to part!   ( For there's a meaning ) My tulips and heather!  ( To all the flowers ) Are tied up together! ( They tell a story . . . ) They tell you a tale . . . that never lies! ( This purple heather . . . ) This beautiful heather . . .  ( Means lonely hours . . . ) Means lonely forever . . . ( And tulips weep for . . . ) These tulips convey a love that dies!   And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you All that is in my heart My spray of tulips and heather, brings us together Never again to part . . .   Darling! Never again to part . . .   Words and Music by Milton Carson With Mitchell Ayres and his Orchestra  with Chorus ( under the direction of Ray Charles ) Recorded at Manhattan Center, New York City Recorded December 18, 1951
