—Bill Monroe
The lilies are blooming, that you said to me
That's why I know you was with me
If something calls out yonder and you have to leave
I'll still have your sweet memory
Chorus:
You gave me somethin' time can't take from me
A light that guides me when it's dark and I can't see
When I'm cold a hand to hold will comfort me
And you'll be there, my sweet memory
So I won't cry each night goodbye, it's just so-long
I'll keep the ring that you gave to me
Your lips were sweet, your arms were warm, I tasted life
God bless you, my sweet memory
Tag:
Your lips were sweet, your arms were warm, I tasted life
God bless you, my sweet memory
