Just as far as I can remember
She'll remain the rose of my heart
Mom took 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
Now we've thought it all over, Mama
We know that your spirit is there
No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the dearest one Mom and sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now would only hurt Father
No, no, Mom, we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
They all gathered 'round, I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed mighty low
But that was one time, Mama, we all had to face it
If it is so bad, you know
No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the dearest one Mom and sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now would only hurt Father
No, no, Mama, we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
