Michelle Turley Orange Blossoms in Phoenix lyrics

Papa was a musician
He came home late at night
When work was done
Playing all the bars in town
Watching other people
Having fun

Mama she'd wait up at night
For him just like a good wife would do
I remember watching them together
So in love their whole lives through

(Chorus)
Orange Blossoms they will bloom
In the spring time, in Phoenix
From March till June
And the scent of the flowers fills the air
The scent is everywhere
Till another year is through

I try to live my life just like
My mom and papa hoped
That I would do
The example they had set for me
Before they left this world
Is what comes through

Sometimes when I pray at night
I talk to them just like they're in my room
I tell them that the years go by so quickly now

I'll see them both real soon

(Chorus)

Orange Blossoms they will bloom
In the spring time, in Phoenix
From March till June
And the scent of the flowers fills the air
The scent is everywhere
Till another year is through

Orange Blossoms they will bloom
It reminds me of an innocence when all was new
And my momma sitting on my papa's knee
Smiling back at me
All those years that came too soon

(Bridge)

Now when I go back sometimes
I drive past the old house in Phoenix
Where I grew up, sometimes I can hear,
Momma, she's calling my name
And I'm a young girl again

(Repeat Chorus)
