Jones, George - When The Grass Grows Over Me Lyrics






I'll be your when the grass grows over me.

When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold
Cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...

    This is so true.  I divorced my kids father after twenty years of marriage.  Though I have never regretted our divorced I never held any bad willed.  Now thirty some odd years later he is in relly bad health.  Though he hated me after the divorced I hate to see him in bad health.  I do pray he lets go of the hate he has for me and God will intervene and gives him back his health.

    K.... M....

    that's nice of you, KEEP IT UP

    R.... ....

    @Havvok K
    That's what I'm not getting, all the young people I talk to likes the old stuff, but the stars always point to the young people as their audience, but actually the few people I talk to that like it, seem to be the people that are like in their 50's & 60's, so I don't get that exactly.......I guess cause they grew up in it or something

    R.... ....

    @Old Country  Probably so!! I Wish theres a Hughe show or sum for d Old Country Where they can jus have everyone n young supporting the old country cum over n be one  n enjoy n bring back what Really started out as country!!

    R.... ....
