[Verse 1] 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
[Chorus] 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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2] 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
[Chorus] 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
[Outro] Yes I'll be over you when the grass grows over me
