Just as far as I can remember
She'll remain the rose of my heart
Mama took sick along in December
February brought us broken hearts
The reason we've not called the family reunion
Is we knew that you wouldn't be there
But now that we thought it all over mama
We know that the spirit is here
No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the only one mama
And sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now
Would only hurt farther
Oh no mama I'll never forget you
And someday I'll meet you up there
No, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the only one mama
And sweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now
Would only hurt farther
Oh no mama I'll never forget you
Cause someday I'll meet you up there
