Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

When the Grass Grows Over Me

When you left I thought that I would soon be over you

Even told myself that I would find somebody new

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 I'm alive 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
