Sweeter than the flowers

Yes as far as I can remember she'll remain the rose 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 that she wouldn't be there
But since we've thought it all over mama we know that your spirit is there
No no I can't forget the hours you're the only one mom and sweeter than the flowers
No no there's no need to bother because without you now would only hurt father
Oh no mama we'll never forget you and someday we'll meet you up there
[ steel ]
You looked so sweet we all were together brother and I close to dad
Oh mama when I passed by your coffin I didn't want to remember you dead
They 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
No no I can't forget the hours...
