Sweeter Than The Flowers
recorded by George Jones and Gene Pitney [3/4 time]
written by Ervin T. Rouse and Lois Mann
CJust as far as I can remember
She'll reG7main the rose of my Cheart
Mom took sick along in December
FebruG7ary brought us broken Chearts
The reason we've not called the family reunion
We knew G7that she wouldn't be Cthere
But since we've thought it all over mama
We G7know that your spirit is Cthere
FNo no I can't forget the hours
You're the Conliest one mom
And Fsweeter than the flowers
No no there's no need to bother
It's beCcause you now would Fonly hurt father
CIt looks so good to see us together
But I G7had to look after Cdad
Oh mama when I passed by your coffin
I G7didn't want to remember you Cdead
They all gathered round I stared at their faces
All heads G7were bowed mighty Clow
But that was one time we all had to face it
It G7hurt us so bad you Cknow
Repeat #2
COh no momma we'll never forget you
G7 C
