Sweeter Than The Flowers Lyrics
Sweeter Than The Flowers - The Stanley Brothers
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
Oh no mama
We never forget you and someday
We make you love that
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 around
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
