When you left I thought in time I'd 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 you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in

Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then

Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

[ steel ]

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you

Every minute time goes by I'm hurtin' through and through

And as long as I live I know I won't be free

But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Yes I'll be over you...
