If Flowers Grow In Heaven

If flowers grow in heaven Lord,

then pick a bunch for me

then place them in my mother's arms

and tell her they're from me.

Tell her that I love and miss her

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek and

hold her for awhile.

Love You, Love You, Love You
