Pain and sorrow from a bygone era. Impossible to replicate in this day and age.

Very True and this is what I describe as what real "Country music" embodies.

Thanks for the comment Rose , It is beautiful and I listen to this most sad and beautiful song a lot. This is what country music used to be, a lot of times just telling stories reflecting true life and times,

A Rose Covered Grave (for our baby) A jewel from this earth now shining in heaven Our baby today to God we have given Her coming brought sunshine Her leaving brought pain When they greet her in heaven how the angels will sing Chorus; Tonight my heart is aching, with the sad and sweet memory A rose covered grave for our baby and a broken heart for me We miss you dear baby, your toys on the floor A doll and a crib you will play with no more Two little shoes and a teddy bear too Lye where you left them to remind us of you Chorus; Tonight my heart is aching, with the sad and sweet memory A rose covered grave for our baby and a broken heart for me #3rd verse (not sung on this recording) Mommie will meet you in heaven some day You have just gone to light up the way Sleep peacefully in a home for the blessed You look so happy I know you're at rest. Chorus; Tonight my heart is aching, with the sad and sweet memory A rose covered grave for our baby and a broken heart for me
