Lyrics

I walked in a flower to buy my dad some roses something that i'd never ever done
i always knew my daddy's favorite flowers were the roses
but all my life i'd never bought him one
dad could take the old french harp
and make the sweetest music
his leaving us has torn our world apart
but heaven's music must be sweeter out
there among the roses
while daddy sings a verse and blows his harp
I stood beside the casket
just before the closing
and i run my fingers thru my daddys hair
i looked and there lay his french harp
among the roses and i wondered
if my mama put it there
i went down beside the grave
just to pay a visit but the harp
among the roses it was gone
and i wondered if somehow
if my daddy took it with him
i can almost hear him play his favorite song
in the sweet by and by
we shall meet on that beautiful shore
in the sweet by and by
we shall meet on that beautiful shore
