Roy Acuff Lyrics
"Sweeter Than The Flowers"

Just 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
she wouldn't be there

But since we've thought it all over mama we know that your spirit is there

Oh no I can't forget the hours you're the onlyest mom
and sweeter than the flowers

No no there's no need to bother cause without you now
would only hurt father

Oh no mama we'll never forget you someday we'll meet you up there

[ harmonica ]

You looked so sweet we all were together brother and I close to dad

Oh mama as 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

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...
