Sweeter Than The Flowers - Kitty Wells

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

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…
