Introduction
Rhonda’s voice, pure and powerful, just pours emotion into every note. The song itself is about that moment when you realize a relationship is truly over, like, really over. It’s about the finality of it all, the kind of goodbye where you know there’s no going back. Think about that image – “when the grass grows over me” – it’s a pretty stark way to say “it’s done, finished, in the past.”
But it’s not just about sadness. There’s a strength in the song too, a sense of acceptance. It’s like saying, “Okay, this hurts, but life goes on.” And that’s something a lot of us can relate to, right? We’ve all been there, picking up the pieces and trying to move forward.
The bluegrass instrumentation just adds to the raw emotion. It’s honest and direct, no frills, just like the feelings the song talks about. When you listen to it, you can almost feel the ache in Rhonda’s voice, but also the resilience. It’s a song that can make you feel understood, like someone else gets what you’re going through. Have you ever had a song do that for you?
Ultimately, “When The Grass Grows Over Me” is a powerful reminder that even in heartbreak, there’s a path forward. It’s a testament to Rhonda Vincent’s talent and her ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
For I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
[Chorus]
Yes I’ll be over you when you’re standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I’m sleeping in
Don’t expect to hear me say that I still love you dear
For I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Even when my eyes are closed I keep on seeing you
And each minute I’m alive I’m hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won’t be free
For I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
[Chorus]
Yes I’ll be over you when you’re standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I’m sleeping in
Don’t expect to hear me say that I still love you dear
For I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
[Outro]
Yes I’ll be over you when the grass grows over me
