Sweeter Than The Flowers - James King
Just as far as I can remember
She'll remain the roses of my heart
Mom took sick along in
December February brought us broken heart
The reason we've not called
The family reunion we knew
She wouldn't be there
But since we've thought it all over mama
We know her spirit is there
Oh no I can't forget the hours
You're the only one mom
And sweeter than the flowers
Oh no there's no need to bother
Just because of you now
Would only hurt father
Oh no mama we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
He looked so good to see us together
But I have to look after dad
Oh mama when I passed by your coffin
I didn't want to remember you dead
We 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
Though it hurt us so bad you know
Oh no I can't forget the hours
You're the only one mom
And sweeter than the flowers
Oh no there's no need to bother
Just because of you now
Would only hurt father
Oh no mama we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
That I'm all along and I'm along way from home
But my memory still linger on
I will lock on just trying to find out
Just the worry this world I belong
Oh no I can't forget the hours
You're the only one mom
And sweeter than the flowers
Oh no there's no need to bother
Cause because of you now
Would only hurt father
Oh no mama we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
