Sweeter Than The Flowers

Just as far as I can remember

She'll remain the rose of my heart

Mama took sick along in December

February brought us broken hearts.

The reason we've not called the family reunion

Is we knew that you wouldn't be there

But now that we thought it all over mama

We know that the spirit is here.

No, no, I can't forget the hours

You're the only one mama and sweeter than the flowers

No, no, there's no need to bother

To speak of you now would only hurt farther

Oh no mama, I'll never forget you

And someday I'll meet you up there.

No, no, I can't forget the hours

You're the only one mama and sweeter than the flowers

No, no, there's no need to bother

To speak of you now would only hurt farther

Oh no mama, I'll never forget you

And someday I'll meet you up there...
