Sweeter Than The Flowers Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Just as far as I can remember 

She'll remain the rose of my heart 

Mama fell sick along in December 

February brought us broken hearts 

The reason we've not called a family reunion 

We knew that she wouldn't be there 

But now that we've thought it all over Mama 

We know you're spirit is here 

Oh no I can't forget the hours your the only one Momma 

And sweeter than the flowers 

Oh no there's no use to bother 

To speak of you now would only hurt Father 

Oh no momma we'll never forget you 

And someday we'll meet you up there 

We all gathered round and I stared at their faces 

All heads were bowed mighty low 

But this was one time we all had to face it 

Though it hurt us so badly you know
