Sweeter Than The Flowers Lyrics - Bobby Bare

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
