When the Grass Grows Over Me

About When the Grass Grows Over Me

"When the Grass Grows Over Me" is a song by George Jones. It was released on the Musicor label in 1968 and rose to #2 on the Billboard country singles chart. It was written by Don Chapel, Tammy Wynette's husband before George. The song is similar in theme to Jones' later comeback hit "He Stopped Loving Her Today" except from a first person point of view, with the narrator claiming he will only stop loving his departed lover when he is dead and buried: When you left I thought that I would soon be over you Even told myself that I would find somebody new Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory But I'll be over you when the grass grows over meIn 1969, Conway Twitty cut the song for his LP Darlin', You Know I Wouldn't Lie. A year later, Jerry Lee Lewis recorded it for his album She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye. Tammy Wynette would also perform the song live occasionally. more »

When you left 
I thought that I-I would soo-oon get o-over you
Even told myself 
That I-I would find somebody too
Time and tears 
Have come and go-one but not your me-emory
But I'll be-ee o-over you 
When the grass grows o-over-er me

Yes I'll be over you 
When you're standing o-over me
And as you look down 
At the cold cold ground I'm slee-eepin' i-in
Don't expect to hear me say-ay 
That I'll still love you then
For I'll be o-over you 
When the grass grows o-over-er me

Yes I'll be o-over you 
When the grass grows o-over-er me
