Lyrics

Garden Spot

There?s a white picket fence
Runnin? ?round a garden spot
Where once there stood a little house
Built on dreams and loving hearts
For years it stood through thick and thin
But the wear and tear took a toll on them
Now all that?s left is this garden spot that I?ll tend to lovingly.

On a cold winter day
Over thirty years ago
I lay the one I love to rest beneath the falling snow
And in the corner is a headstone that softly calls her name
?Til death do us part? still echoes in my brain

Over there was a porch swing
Where I could see the blue horizon in her eyes
One day I?ll be back beside her
But til then I?ll have this Garden Spot that I?ll tend to lovingly

Every day I think about her when I see the flowers blooming
It reminds me of her beauty and soothes my deep despair
And then I feel the wind caress me and for a moment I?m beside her
Walking through our garden spot again

Over there was a porch swing
Where I could see the blue horizon in her eyes
One day I?ll be back beside her
But til then I?ll have this Garden spot that I?ll tend to lovingly.
