  SWEETER THAN THE FLOWERS

  Recorded by Moon Mullican

  Written by Morry Burns, Lois Mann and Ervin T. Rouse

  

  [D] Just as far as I can remember

  She'll [A7] remain the rose of my [D] heart

  Mom took sick along in December

  Feb-[A7] ruary brought us broken [D] hearts.

  

  [D] The reason we've not called a family reunion

  We [A7] knew - she wouldn't be there

  But since we've thought it all over, Mama

  We [A7] know that your spirit is [D] there.

  

  CHORUS

  [G] Oh, no, I can't forget the hours

  You're the [D] onliest one Mom and [G] sweeter than the [D] flowers

  [G] Oh, no, there's no need to bother

  To [D] speak of you now would [G] only hurt Father. ... ... [D]

  

  

  Well, it looked so good to see us together

  But I had to look after Dad

  Oh, no, Mama, when 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

  But that was one time we all had to face it

  Though it hurt us so bad, you know.

  

  CHORUS

  

  TAG: [D] Oh, no, Mama, we'll never forget you

  And [A7] someday we'll meet you up [D] there.
