Sweeter Than The Flowers – Johnny Cash
Nghệ sĩ: Johnny Cash
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
This song features on Johnny Cash: The Mercury Years, and I imagine the same recording
can be found elsewhere too. It's a great song, but I couldn't find the chords for it
by anyone. It is credited to Mann/Rouse/Burns, but this recording is Johnny Cash featuring Waylon Jennings.
SWEETER THAN THE FLOWERS
Just as far as I can remember
She'll remain the rose of my heart
Mum 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
No, no, I can't forget the hours
you’re the dearest one mum
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 felt so good for us to be 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
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
