Sweeter Than The Flowers (W/ Waylon Jennings) Lyrics
(Mann, Rouse, Burns)
-Solo-
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 that you wouldn't be there
Now we've thought all over, Mamma
We know that your spirit is there
Chorus:
No, no, I can't forget the hour
You're the dearest one Mom and sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now would only hurt Father
No, no, Mamma, we'll never forget you
And someday, we'll meet you up there
-Solo-
We all gathered 'round, I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed down mighty low
That was one time, Mamma, we all had to face it
It hurt us so bad, you know
Chorus:
