Lyrics When the Grass Grows - George Jones

When the Grass Grows

When you left I thought in time I’d soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
Yes I’ll be over you when you’re standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I’m sleeping in
Don’t expect to hear me say that I still love you then
Cause I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute time goes by I’m hurtin' through and through
And as long as I live I know I won’t be free
But I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
Yes I’ll be over you…
