Sugar In The Flowers

It seems like only yesterday I sat and watched my Sugar play
Chasing butterflies in the summer sun
She went barefoot all day long and never thought of things wrong
But all the doctors said it was sure to come
She was my Sugar running through the flowers
My sweet little Sugar Sugar in the flowers

Her favorite place was in the flowers where she used to play for hours
After her little leg stop running
She brushed away the bumblebees and I'd hide the tears so she wouldn't see
And guess about what was coming
She was sweet Sugar in the flowers

The autumn slowly rolled around and all the flowers stalled to the ground
And all that was green turned to golden red
Then Sugar couldn't even sit and knowing she'd never walk from it
Broke my heart to lay her in her bed
Poor little Sugar her little friends the flowers
And place them at her bed side Sugar in the flowers

Then Sugar's life like flower petals drooped and faded and then it left her
And all of Sugar's pain was at an end
So peaceful and so still she laid she seemed just like a dream away

As I placed flowers in her little folded hands
Sweet Sugar in the chapel surrounded by the flowers
A covered patch out in the churchyard Sugar beneath the flowers

Now spring is rolled round again and flowers bloom across the land
Spring showers sprinkle down onto the ground
And I know that it was a rule by God that it would be my Sugar's job
To honor all the flowers in the gardens all around
She was sweet Sugar Sugar in the flowers
