Just as far as I can remember She'll remain the rose of my heart Mum fell sick along in December February brought us broken hearts The reason we've not called a family reunion We knew that she wouldn't be there But now that we've thought it all over Mama We know you're spirit is here No no I can't forget the hours you're the dearest one mum And sweeter than the flowers Oh no there's no use to bother To speak of you now would only hurt Father Oh no momma we'll never forget you And someday we'll meet you up there We all gathered round and I stared at their faces All heads were bowed mighty low But this was one time we all had to face it Though it hurt us so badly you know Well it felt so good for us to be together But I had to look after dad Oh no Mother when I passed by your casket I didn't want to remember you dead Oh no I can't forget the hours your the only one Momma And sweeter than the flowers Oh no there's no use to bother To speak of you now would only hurt Father Oh no momma we'll never forget you And someday we'll meet you up there

La chanson évoque la profonde tristesse d’un fils face à la perte de sa mère. Il se remémore les moments précieux passés ensemble, tout en ressentant le poids de l'absence. Les souvenirs sont empreints d’amour, mais la douleur de sa disparition reste vive, surtout lors des réunions familiales où son absence se fait cruellement sentir. Le chanteur exprime son désir de préserver sa mémoire tout en protégeant son père de cette peine. Malgré le chagrin, il garde espoir de retrouver un jour sa mère dans un au-delà, où ils se retrouveront enfin.
