Sugar In The Flowers

It seems like only yesterday I sat and watched my Sugar play

Chasing butterflies in the summer sun

She went barefoot all day long and never thought of things wrong

But all the doctors said it was sure to come

She was my Sugar running through the flowers

My sweet little Sugar Sugar in the flowers

Her favorite place was in the flowers where she used to play for hours

After her little leg stop running

She brushed away the bumblebees and I'd hide the tears so she wouldn't see

And guess about what was coming

She was sweet Sugar in the flowers

The autumn slowly rolled around and all the flowers stalled to the ground

And all that was green turned to golden red

Then Sugar couldn't even sit and knowing she'd never walk from it

Broke my heart to lay her in her bed

Poor little Sugar her little friends the flowers

And place them at her bed side Sugar in the flowers

Then Sugar's life like flower petals drooped and faded and then it left her

And all of Sugar's pain was at an end

So peaceful and so still she laid she seemed just like a dream away

As I placed flowers in her little folded hands

Sweet Sugar in the chapel surrounded by the flowers

A covered patch out in the churchyard Sugar beneath the flowers

Now spring is rolled round again and flowers bloom across the land

Spring showers sprinkle down onto the ground

And I know that it was a rule by God that it would be my Sugar's job

To honor all the flowers in the gardens all around

She was sweet Sugar Sugar in the flowers
