EJust as far as I can remember
She'll reB7main the rose of my Eheart
Mom took sick along in December
FebruB7ary brought us broken Ehearts.
The reason we've not called the family reunion
We knew that she wouldn't be there
But since we've thought it all over, mama
We know that your spirit is there.
Chorus:
ANo, no, I can't forget the hours
You're the Eonliest one mom
And Asweeter than the flowers
No, no, there's no need to bother
It's beEcause you now would Aonly hurt father.
It looks so good to see us together
But I had to look after dad
Oh 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
It hurt us so bad you know.                   
Chorus
Oh no momma we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there...

Just as far as I can remember

B7 E

She'll remain the rose of my heart

Mom took sick along in December

B7 E

February brought us broken hearts.

The reason we've not called the family reunion

We knew that she wouldn't be there

But since we've thought it all over, mama

We know that your spirit is there.

Chorus:

No, no, I can't forget the hours

You're the onliest one mom

And sweeter than the flowers

No, no, there's no need to bother

E A

It's because you now would only hurt father.

It looks so good to see us together

But I had to look after dad

Oh 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

It hurt us so bad you know.

Chorus

Oh no momma we'll never forget you

And someday we'll meet you up there...
