If Roses Grow In Heaven
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord pick a bunch for me,
Place them in Amy's arms,
Please tell her they are from me.
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek,
And hold her in your arms a while for me.
Tell her I love her and I think of her every day.
I miss her in my soul, in my heart, in my body
and in my mind.
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord pick a bunch for me,
Place them in Amy's arms,
Please tell her they are from me.
In memory of my daughter Amy Lenn Jeffers
