Where Flowers Never Grow

You sure had a way with the flowers You knew how to make them grow You said it's in the care that you give And in all the love you show You would often talk to the roses And sing to the morning glories You gave them water to quench their thirst And sometimes, you read them stories We buried you in an empty grave Where flowers never grow But when we laid you in the ground You became the flower's soul The roses sprang toward the sky Inspired by all your love As if to thank the Father In the Heavens up above You sure had a way with the flowers And though you had to go Your love will live forever Where the flowers never grow
