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 For 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 dear For I'll be over you when the grass grows over me 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 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 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
