When the Grass Grows Over Me Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis

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-a you look down, at the cold cold ground
I'm sleepin' in

Don′t expect to hear me say
That I′ll still love you then
Cause I'll be over you, when the grass grows over me


Even when my eyes were closed darlin′
They keep on seein' you
Every minute, every minute time goes on
I′m hurtin' through and through

And as long as I live
I know I′ll never be free
(But I'll be over) I'll be over you
(When the grass) when that grass
(Grows over me) grows over me

Yes I′ll be over you
When you′re standing over me
Honey when you look down, at the cold cold ground
I'm a-sleepin′ in

Now, don't expect to hear me say
That I′m gonna love you then
Cause I'll be over you, when the grass grows over me
