More about Your Love is Like a Flower
The trio Everett Lilly, Lester Flatt, and Earl Scruggs are the masterminds behind this song. Lilly, who plays the mandolin, is said to have penned down this classical song first. Then, he took it to Flatt and Scruggs, probably for editing and proofreading. Skilled with the mandolin, Everett played the instrument with Flatt and Scruggs for two years (1950 to 1952) before he went on to be a member of The Lily Brothers that consist of three others; his brother Bea, Tex Logan and Don Stovers. The Lilly Brothers relocated to the New England area in the 50s and greatly influenced bluegrass and musicians in New England. The first recording of “Your Love is Like a Flower” was on August 30, 1953. While they were in the process of producing this song, Louis Innis joined both Flatt and Scruggs as a guitar player. This song was released as part of the album “Foggy Mountain Jamboree” in 1957. Another recording of this song was done by Tony Rice, J.D. Crowe, Doyle Lawson, Bobby Hicks, and Todd Phillips. This version can be found on the “Bluegrass Album” Vol 2. There seems to be a mild difference between the first version by Scruggs and Flatt and the second version. While the chorus was sung by two people, the second version has three people on it.

Your Love is Like a Flower lyrics
It was long, long ago in the moonlight
We were sitting on the banks of the stream
When you whispered so sweetly, I love you
And the flowers murmured a tune
On they tell me your love's like a flower
In the spring time it blossoms so fair
In the cold wind it withers a...br>
We were talking of days gone by
When you told me you always would love me
And your love for me would never die
It was spring you told me those words, dear
The flowers were blooming so fair
But now as the snow falls around me
I can see that your love isn't there
