Lyrics The Scent of Violets - Albert Bouchard , John W. Nassivera

I can quote you some Samuel Clemens
His words echo down from the heavens
Forgiveness is like the sweet fragrance
Violets leave on the heel that crushed it

Jibber-jabbing about the day′s events
Airbrushing the story of suspense
Sweeping hands and hearts a flutter
Puckered lips stammer and sputter
I leaned in close to Sally's ear
Whispered loud enough for all to hear

I can quote you some Samuel Clemens
His words echo down from the heavens
Forgiveness is like the sweet fragrance
Violets leave on the heel that crushed it

Stomping footsteps and a yelling frenzy
Sounding like jealousy and envy
The boys in a straight line chime
Are you blind we′ve committed no crime
Hands speaking in a tale of fury
We'll leave this to the judge and jury

I can quote you some Samuel Clemens
His words echo down from the heavens
Forgiveness is like the sweet fragrance
Violets leave on the heel that crushed it

Feeling her best, a smirk of triumph
Sally and the boys need an odd alliance
Anger only makes you smaller
Friendship is worth way more than the dollar
It's your chance to set the record straight
It′s now time to deflate the hate

I can quote you some Samuel Clemens
His words echo down from the heavens
Forgiveness is like the sweet fragrance
Violets leave on the heel that crush it
