Sweeter Than the Flowers
Eternal Love's Resilience: Sweeter Than the Flowers
Lyrics
Just as far as I can remember
Reflecting on the past, recalling memories.
She'll remain the rose of my heart
Expressing enduring love and admiration for someone special.
Mom took sick along in December
Noting a significant event - mother falling ill in December.
February brought us broken hearts
February marked a period of emotional pain and heartbreak.
The reason we've not called the family reunion
Explaining the absence from a family gathering due to the mother's passing.
We knew that she wouldn't be there
Acknowledging the absence of the mother at the family reunion.
But since we've thought it all over, mama
Reflecting on the situation and reconsidering the mother's presence in spirit.
We know that your spirit is there
Acknowledging the spiritual presence of the mother despite physical absence.
No, no, I can't forget the hours
Expressing an inability to forget precious moments spent with the mother.
You're the onliest one, mom
Affirming the mother's unique and irreplaceable role in the speaker's life.
And sweeter than the flowers
Comparing the mother's sweetness to the beauty of flowers.
No, no, there's no need to bother
Rejecting the idea of discussing the mother, as it may hurt the father.
To speak of you now would only hurt father
Emphasizing the sensitivity of the topic and its potential impact on the father.
It looks so good to see us together
Noting the positive feeling of being together, possibly at the funeral.
But I had to look after dad
Taking responsibility for caring for the father during this difficult time.
Oh mama, when I passed by your coffin
Expressing a reluctance to accept the reality of the mother's death.
I didn't want to remember you dead
Resisting the mental image of the mother in a lifeless state.
They all gathered 'round, I stared at their faces
Describing the scene of people gathering around, mourning with bowed heads.
All heads were bowed mighty low
Observing the somber atmosphere and emotional state of the mourners.
But that was one time we all had to face it
Highlighting a shared moment of facing the harsh reality of the mother's passing.
It hurt us so bad you know
Expressing the deep emotional pain experienced by everyone involved.
No, no, I can't forget the hours
Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting cherished moments with the mother.
You're the onliest one, mom
Affirming the mother's unique and irreplaceable role in the speaker's life (repeated).
And sweeter than the flowers
Comparing the mother's sweetness to the beauty of flowers (repeated).
No, no, there's no need to bother
Rejecting the idea of discussing the mother, as it may hurt the father (repeated).
To speak of you now would only hurt father
Emphasizing the sensitivity of the topic and its potential impact on the father (repeated).
Oh, no, momma, we'll never forget you
Promising to never forget the mother and expressing hope to reunite in the afterlife.
And someday we'll meet you up there
Anticipating a future reunion with the mother in a spiritual realm.
