Lyrics
ADOBE GARDENS
Tommy Carter, Copyright, 1997, 2004
3/4 waltz;
Just a mile or so, north of the Alamo, side byh side,
we sat in theAdobe Gardens.
There in the moonlight we walked and we held hands
in the Adobe Gardens.
Soft San Antonio breezes brushed us.
The scent of roses and the colors of the night
surround us.
And we kissed beside those walls in the Adobe Gardens.
Chorus
Where Salado Creek meets the Rio San Antone,
my love and I
strolled, arms entrines, into the night,
at Adobe Gardens.
I whispered softly in her ear, and I pledtged
my love forever.There in the San Antonio night.
Verse 2
Two lovers on a summer night, starlight in her
eyes as sparkking
fountains throw diamonds in her hair. A whispered word
and the summer moon seal the love we've come
to share.
Sstrolling along white gravel trailsat as the
moonlight reflects
the love in her eyes at the Adobe Gardens
Repeat Chorus
Coda
at the Adobe Gardens.
