If carnations grow in heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my mothers arms
And tell her they are from me
Tell her I love her and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for a while
Because remembering her will be easy
I will do it every day
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away
