When you left I thought that I would soon get over you

Even told myself that I'd 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

For I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.



Even when my eyes are closed I keep on seeing you

And each minute I'm alive 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 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

For I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...
