Last night she was in my dream
Walking together in the gold and green
Drinking cool water from the mountain spring
Where I spent every summer 'til I was thirteen

She used to rock me on her knees
Tell me stories of kings and queens
I'd climb high in the cherry tree
The smell of fresh bread rising on the breeze

And even though she's gone
The flowers live on 
At my grandma's house

When my dad met my mom
He bought her home, made her his bride
My mom and my grandma never got along
They both had way too much pride

My dad gave the place away
When I was twenty-seven
It's now a church where people pray
I wonder if my grandma hears them up in heaven

And even though she's gone
The flowers live on 
At my grandma's house.

The last I saw her
Before I left home
We were in the garden together
Planting a rose

And even though she's gone
The flowers live on 
At my grandma's house
