If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me,
place them in her caring arms,
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that we love and miss her, and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy, her loved one's do it every day.
But there's an ache within our hearts, that will never go away.
