Sugar In The Flowers
It seems like only yesterday I sat and watched my Sugar play
Chasing butterflies in the summer sun
She went barefoot all day long and never thought of things wrong
But all the doctors said it was sure to come
She was my Sugar running through the flowers
My sweet little Sugar Sugar in the flowers
Her favorite place was in the flowers where she used to play for hours
After her little leg stop running
She brushed away the bumblebees and I'd hide the tears so she wouldn't see
And guess about what was coming
She was sweet Sugar in the flowers
The autumn slowly rolled around and all the flowers stalled to the ground
And all that was green turned to golden red
Then Sugar couldn't even sit and knowing she'd never walk from it
Broke my heart to lay her in her bed
Poor little Sugar her little friends the flowers
And place them at her bed side Sugar in the flowers
Then Sugar's life like flower petals drooped and faded and then it left her
And all of Sugar's pain was at an end
So peaceful and so still she laid she seemed just like a dream away
As I placed flowers in her little folded hands
Sweet Sugar in the chapel surrounded by the flowers
A covered patch out in the churchyard Sugar beneath the flowers
Now spring is rolled round again and flowers bloom across the land
Spring showers sprinkle down onto the ground
And I know that it was a rule by God that it would be my Sugar's job
To honor all the flowers in the gardens all around
She was sweet Sugar Sugar in the flowers
Açúcar Nas Flores
Parece que só ontem eu sentei e assisti meu jogo Sugar
Perseguindo borboletas no sol do verão
Ela ficou descalça o dia todo e nunca pensou em coisas erradas
Mas todos os médicos disseram que com certeza viria
Ela era meu açúcar correndo pelas flores
My sweet little Sugar Açúcar nas flores
Seu lugar favorito era nas flores, onde ela costumava jogar por horas
Depois da coxa dela parar de correr
Ela afastou os abelhões e eu escondi as lágrimas para que ela não visse
E adivinha o que estava por vir
Ela era doce Açúcar nas flores
O outono rolou lentamente e todas as flores pararam no chão
E tudo o que era verde se transformou em vermelho dourado
Então Sugar não podia nem sentar e saber que ela nunca andaria
Quebrou meu coração para colocá-la em sua cama
Coitadinho Sugar seus amiguinhos as flores
E colocá-los em seu lado da cama Açúcar nas flores
Então a vida de Sugar como pétalas de flores caiu e desbotou e então a deixou
E toda a dor de Sugar chegou ao fim
Tão pacífica e tão quieta ela colocou, parecia um sonho longe
Como eu coloquei flores em suas pequenas mãos cruzadas
Açúcar doce na capela cercada pelas flores
Um remendo coberto para fora no adro da igreja Açúcar sob as flores
Agora a primavera é rodada novamente e as flores florescem em toda a terra
Chuveiros de primavera polvilhe no chão
E eu sei que era uma regra de Deus que seria o trabalho do meu Sugar
Para honrar todas as flores nos jardins ao redor
Ela era doce Açúcar Açúcar nas flores
