When you left, I thought that I would soon be older than you
Even told myself that I'd find somebody to
Time and tears have come and gone, but not your memory
For I'll be home for you
When the grass grows green
And the wind 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 me to be here

To hear me say that I still love you dear
For I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me
To hear me say that I still love you dear
For I'll be over you
When the grass grows green

To hear me say that I still love you dear
Don't expect me to be here
Till the morning light in the dark
I'm singing through me


It's only for a day or two
Even when my eyes are closed
I keep on seeing you
And each minute I'm alive
I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live
I know I won't be free
For I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me
Yes, I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me

When you're standing over me
And as you look down
On the cold, cold ground
I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say
That I still love you dear
For I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me
Yes, I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me
Yes, I'll be over you
