Sweeter Than The Flowers |
Just as far as I can remember |
She’ll remain the rose of my heart |
Mom took sick along in December |
February brought us broken hearts. |
The reason we’ve not called a family reunion |
We knew — she wouldn’t be there |
But since we’ve thought it all over, Mama |
We know that your spirit is there. |
Oh, no, I can’t forget the hours |
You’re the onliest one Mom and sweeter than the flowers |
Oh, no, there’s no need to bother |
To speak of you now would only hurt Father. |
Well, it looked so good to see us together |
But I had to look after Dad |
Oh, no, Mama, when I passed by your coffin |
I didn’t want to remember you dead. |
They all gathered 'round, I stared at their faces |
All heads were bowed mighty low |
But that was one time we all had to face it |
Though it hurt us so bad, you know. |
Oh, no, I can’t forget the hours |
You’re the onliest one Mom and sweeter than the flowers |
Oh, no, there’s no need to bother |
To speak of you now would only hurt Father. |
Oh, no, Mama, we’ll never forget you |
And someday we’ll meet you up there. |
