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
|
|
Well it looked so good to see us together
|
But I had to look after dad
|
Oh no Mother when I passed by your casket
|
I didn't want to remember you dead
|
