sweeter than the flowers

Lyrics

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 the family reunion, we knew that she wouldn't be there, but since we've thought it all over, mama, we know that your spirit is there, no, no, i can't forget the hours, you're the onliest one, mom, and sweeter than the flowers, no, no, there's no need to bother, to speak of you now would only hurt father, it looks so good to see us together, but i had to look after dad, oh 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, it hurt us so bad you know, no, no, i can't forget the hours, you're the onliest one, mom, and sweeter than the flowers, no, no, there's no need to bother, to speak of you now would only hurt father, oh, no, momma, we'll never forget you, and someday we'll meet you up there
