When the Grass Grow over Me Songtext

von George Jones

I'll be over you 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 then.
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 times goes on 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.
