Sweeter Than The Flowers
Ton : AEnglish
AJust as far as I canD rememberA
She'll remain Ethe rose of Amy heart
AMum fell sickD along in DecAember
February bErought us brokenA hearts
The reason we've not called a family reunion
We knew that she wouldn't be there
But now that we've thought it all over Mama
We know you're spirit is here
DNo no I can't fAorget the hours
you're the dearest one mum
And swDeeter than thEe flowers
DOh no there's no useA to bother
To speak of you now
Dwould only huErt Father
DOh no momma we'lAl never forget you
DAnd someday we'llE meet you up Athere
We all gathered round and I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed mighty low
But this was one time we all had to face it
Though it hurt us so badly you know
Well it felt so good for us to be together
But I had to look after dad
Oh no Mother when I passed by your casket
I didn't want to remember you dead
Oh no I can't forget the hours your the only one Momma
And sweeter than the flowers
Oh no there's no use 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
