Sweeter Than the Flowers

Recorded by Moon Mullican Written by Morry Burns, Lois Mann and Ervin T. Rouse D Just as far as I can remember A7 D She'll remain the rose of my heart Mom took sick along in December A7 D Feb- ruary brought us broken hearts. D The reason we've not called a family reunion A7 We knew - she wouldn't be there But since we've thought it all over, Mama A7 D We know that your spirit is there. CHORUS G Oh, no, I can't forget the hours D G D You're the onliest one Mom and sweeter than the flowers G Oh, no, there's no need to bother D G D To speak of you now would only hurt Father. ... ... Well, it looked so good to see us together But I had to look after Dad Oh, no, 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. CHORUS D TAG: Oh, no, Mama, we'll never forget you A7 D And someday we'll meet you up there.
